Getting a slow start

Freshness Warning
This blog post is over 18 years old. It's possible that the information you read below isn't current and the links no longer work.

Although I promised to start blogging more, I seem to be getting a slow start. I’m posting lots more links and short items (if you read this through a feed, you don’t see those, they’re only on the front page of my blog), but haven’t been able to get started with blogging yet.

One reason for this is that I have this feeling that what I blog needs to be big and earth-shattering after such a long dry spell. I just need to get over that and start posting stuff. And now I’ve started.

While I''ve seen the need to post on the more mundane (at least to get the juices flowing again), promise me that if I ever become *that* mundane, you'll stop reading my blog.
