Still not here

I’m in the final months of the PhD and family members are queuing up to be hospitalised, so I don’t have a lot of reliable time to be social in. As a result I’m still not planning on blogging much in the foreseeable future, but I’m getting more of an idea of what I will be doing.

I will have a public weblog so when I’m ready and able to publicly converse things will appear. It may be here. It may be at Phreadz, Viddyou or Blip.tv. Bizarrely video is proving slightly faster to talk with than writing and Seesmic/Phreadz/Viddyou all look like they could make video chat feasible.

I also have a personal/research weblog. This is not listed on Google which means I can put up drafts, sketches and ideas open for collaboration without it counting as prior publication. If you get hits from an odd looking site that’s me. It exists because I find some ideas distracting so I can blog them in a morning and get them out of my head and on with work. I’m not going to be very social there either. I won’t be advertising it and I’d be hugely grateful if the RSS wasn’t re-published elsewhere because that would eliminate the whole point of not listing it on Google. Anything remotely sane from that weblog will probably cross over to here anyway.
