Blogging and Twitterage - all change please!

Category blogging twitter
You may have noticed - or more probably you haven't because there's been naff-all to notice (!) - that things have been a little quiet around here lately. I'm not going to apologise for that, but perhaps point the way to the future.

So, this blog will continue to exist, and will continue to have Lotus-specific posts, plus the occasional rant from me on the subject of ... well, whatever is winding me up at the time really.

A lot of my attention, however, will now be on my new blog The Vanishing Point, which is taking a wider and longer view of collaboration technology. Specifically, how collaborative technologies are going through a long-term process of convergence, and where that's taking us. If you think that might be interesting, please do bookmark it or subscribe to the new feed.

As for Twitter. Well, I'm still not a convert. I like to write in full sentences with grammar, punctuation and a full stop at the end, which Twitter doesn't really permit. In fact, there are many more things about Twitter to dislike than to like, as far as I'm concerned. However, I'll accept that it's not going away any time soon, so am [a] giving it another go, and [b] shortly going to un-protect my Twitter feed. If you care - and quite literally several of you might do so slightly - you can find me on Twitter as woowar.

You CAN teach an old blog new tricks

Category blogging lotusphere2009

I'm not going to apologise for the period of silence, as I expect that this post from August will explain why I've been a little pre-occupied of late. This blog is alive and well - not dead, just sleeping

Also, watch out today for an appearance on The Power of the Lotusphere Community blog too.

Back online

Category blogging
So, I'm now back online in two ways ...

Firstly, I'm back online blogging after a period of sporadicity (is that a word?). I know I know - never apologise for not having blogged - I'm not sorry I went away, but I am glad to be back

Secondly, I'm back online after the power-cut in London this morning which took out my infrastructure for most of the day today.

How much is too much?

So, one third of me is relatively sane, which is nice to know.

Thanks Curious Mitch.

Somewhat belatedly ...

Category blogging
At long last I've updated the links list on this blog site.

If your link is wrong, please let me know and I'll fix it. If I've not linked to you, then please don't be offended, and feel free to ping me an email (or respond to this) letting me know. No guarantee it'll make any difference of course...

Light at the end of the tunnel

Category blogging
Okay, I'm sorry. I fail to produce any blog entries for 3 weeks, and then when I do it's a plain old rant about a certain software giant and their technological myopia.

Constructive blogging to follow shortly, when I reach the end of the tunnel ...

Experimenting with Blogrush

Category blogrush traffic blogging
The airwaves have been buzzing over the last few days about the Blogrush blog widget. The idea is to promote traffic across similar/related blogs by generating dynamic links based on the subject matter of the blogs themselves.

So, I thought I would give it a go, hence the new From the Blogosphere block on the right hand side.

"Coming out"

Category uklug blogging
Finally I've caved in to pressure and peered over the parapet into the blogosphere.

Mainly, I wanted to say what a privilege it is to be part of the forthcoming UK Lotus User Group team with the inestimable Warren Elsmore, Darren Adams, Kitty Elsmore, Matt White, Eileen Fitzgerald, Paul Mooney and Bill Buchan. That's not a complete list of names of all those contributing, but I'm running the risk of sounding like an oscars speech, which wouldn't be a good way to start the blogging life.

Anyway, my part in the arrangements is very small, but I'm glad to be contributing and hope and believe that it will lead to greater things for the Lotus community in the UK.

This blog will be updated regularly, honest. I did say 'regularly' and not 'frequently' (look them up), although I'll be aiming for the latter service level as well.

Cheers ... onwards and upwards ...
