a suitably portentous subject line is not coming to mind

Conflicting impulses have been pulling me both towards and away from creating a blog for some time. Looks like we finally have a resolution, spurred in part by my friend (in the original meaning of "friend"--you know, before social software tried to hijack the term) amnesiadust, who got tired of my posting anonymously on his LJ. :)

The frequency of my posting will be driven, more than anything else, by the ongoing conflict between my desire to finish my Ph.D. sometime before the heat death of the universe, and the huge backlog of things that have been waiting for the right venue to be said. (Given how infrequently I update certain aspects of my web site--as opposed to how often I say that I should--I'm not going to make any guarantees.)

I may also decide that some other blogging tool is the Right Answer. We'll see.

ha, gotcha.

I thought that disallowing anonymous posts on my blog might spur you to action. :> And I must admit you've posted rather a lot of stuff in the past, oh, two days...

Ground control to Junior Tom: you are cleared for liftoff.

actually, if you did disallow them, I never noticed. Guess I haven't tried to post to your LJ in a few days.

Who you callin' Junior?

Oh, yeah, you got your friggin' Ph.D. already. Damn you. *sigh*

You know, I'm not sure how long it would have taken me to figure out the "Junior Tom" thing if Alex hadn't pointed it out. I hate to repeat myself, but, well, damn you. :P And here I thought that using my initials was reasonably safe. *sigh*

gotcha *twice*

heheh, it isn't very often that I sneak one of those past you. Cookie for me. :)
