In exactly one month this blog will turn 6. Now, this last couple of years especially the activity here has been less than frenetic, but just because my digital "public" life has been scattered on a bunch of different channels (on the other hand, RSS followers of this blog had the privilege of experiencing an aggregated perspective ages before FriendFeed ;) ).
Anyway, the thing is, this year I'm planning ahead: last week I updated the MT engine that powers these pages, and yesterday I spent an hour or so simplifying the templates and experimenting a bit with the publishing profiles to save some CPU cycles (I'm still hosting this blog on DreamHost, and the amount of computing power dedicated to the the perl interpreter was somehow embarassing; now it should be less demanding).
I'm also considering following Tantek's example and moving the comments to somewhere more social, like Pownce... but I'm not getting that much attention anyway so maybe that can wait.
Oh, and finally, right now I finished processing all my news feeds. First time in at least one year! :)
I've also collected so many notes in causal media that just don't fit into any digital one but blog posts (or anything with a longer/wider perception coverage, like articles, but I ain't no journalist): events, for example - interesting 2008, reboot, frontiers of interaction, just to name a few. I'll have to put those notes, at least the valuable bits, somewhere before they get blown away by disturbances of various sort. I don't care that much if they're not "hot" anymore, I just don't want to loose them.
The other question is where to put things: I still like the idea of keeping the geek stuff separated by the more abstract stuff, which means that in the planning ahead I shoud also take into account the time needed to feed, and then give room to, both sides.
