I’ve been distracted by a great TV show (Vincenzo) all week so I haven’t had a chance to read stuff as I usually do. It will be back next week.
Pause and Focus
Going forward, I am putting a pause to the weekly “Things I have read” and the monthly Bandcamp picks posts.
For the first one, I feel like it works out better to share things I’ve read as I read them on my micro-blog instead of collecting them in a list to post at the end of each week. That format sometimes also leads to me reading things just so I can put them on the list instead of something I genuinely enjoyed reading.
As for the second one, I underestimated just how much time and energy it requires to actually do music discovery on Bandcamp on a regular basis. These days, I simply don’t have the requisite time and mental energy to go through music and pick out things I like every month.
So going forward, this blog is going to focus more on longer form posts that are way too long for my micro-blog.
New Year, New Beginnings
Here we go again. I decided to archive the old AT and start over fresh. Yes, I went back to WordPress. Yes, I know how much it sucks, how much PHP sucks, etcetera. Few things I’m doing different from last time:
- WordPress is installed and updated from SVN. I’m not letting it update itself.
- No unnecessary plugins installed.
- Comments are disabled. If you really really need to give me your opinion on a post, please hit me up on Twitter.
- No multiuser usage this time. Thanks to everyone who wrote for the old AT but for now I have decided to keep this blog strictly me.
Here is to another eventful year, filled with posts about everything and nothing.
