I honestly wasn't sure if I would start blogging again this year, it all started as a "because you should" thing based on comments from friends but as the year went on I started to enjoy it and then towards the end I stopped enjoying it, however that might have had more to do with general malaise than blogging itself.
Too much PC use and exposure, information overload, demotivation, who knows really but I really wasn't bothered anymore, I don't have more than a handful of subscribers, I don't bother with ad-sense for this very reason (I did sign up an account but not used it), I do like messing about with the template etc so that I can try and have a nice blog but can't be bothered to go the way of own server, Moveable type, own design etc although I do keep toying with the idea, it's a time thing I think, as in not enough free time and better things to do with it.
I really tuned out over the Christmas period, barely touched the PC, no RSS feeds, no work email hardly, no blogging, about the only thing I did do on the PC was start and Finish Quake4 which my brother brought with him, reminded me how much I enjoy a good FPS, another time consumer, the other thing is I have a LOT of recorded TV to watch too, we're talking approx 12 entire series some of which span to about 20hrs, one reason this has stockpiled (other than plain time) is the laptop i was using to watch it all through the TV crapped out, however just remedied that with a new Medion laptop from Woolies, bloody impressive piece of kit for the price I have to say !
Anyway I think this years blog will be more about work and what I think, I stayed away from that a bit last year as I didn't have a direction for the thing, but if I am going to do it then it will most likely be posts like this, written in Qumana, on a plane or similar offline/downtime moment and mostly about work stuff, with the odd photo thrown in if my data plan allows and I don't get told off again....
More to come soon on what I think 2006 will bring ...
