On making posts

So I've realized making posts that I would be proud of actually is not a one-shot thing. It's simply not something I can do in a single sitting. Gathering all my thoughts is probably the hardest things.

See for me, the best thinking comes for me when I don't try and think. It just comes when I let my mind wander. Fortunately, it comes back, but it's not an on demand type of thing. So writing a post in a single topic in a single sitting would be hard.

My current plan of action is to write whatever I want to as it comes to mind and write it as a draft. Then, when more comes to mind, I'll edit the draft and keep working on it 'till it's done... yeah, that's what I'll do... I mean, except for this one...

Major Changes

So, this blog has been dead for a while. I thought I might as well revive it. However, it's not really going to be about programming so much any more.
So it's less like I'm reviving this blog, than I am just commandeering it...

What will go here you ask? Well, just things that have been on my mind. Brain dumps. I do tend to think about things a lot so you'll get to hear my views on life. Yeah, I don't usually go spouting them, but what the hey. Maybe I'll post something that's actually insightful....

[EDIT] I might post something insightful, but maybe not... in fact probably not. I do however hope to post at least once a day on a fairly random topic... which may or may not or may or may not be serious. [/EDIT]

But anyway, this'll only go on for about a month and a half; I leave for my mission on the 29th of July....
