I know you haven’t heard from me in quite a while, but
school had taken every bit of my time and even more of my energy. So even when I had a little downtime, the
desire to do more writing was not there.
Also, some events in the surrounding blog community had some influence
as well – specifically the disappearance of Amar’s World. On my list of links, I have added a link to a
mirror site set up shortly after Amar went offline. I have been reluctant to encourage this,
since there may have been a reason Amar’s World was taken offline rather than
continuing to stay up with no more posts.
But the overall good the site has done outweighs the other concerns,
especially since nobody has requested this site be taken down. The posts are a great source of hope and
possibility so I continue to provide this legacy link.
The academic portion of my studies are now complete and I
have begun my internship (a paid one!) in Toronto. To save money (and quickly get my debts paid
off) I have moved back home with my family again. What this means though, is a very long
commute to work every day. However, the
good side of this is that I have three hours sitting on the train every
weekday. I think this is a good
opportunity to add writing time back into my schedule, so I will now try to
restart the blog. Just so everyone is
aware, one thing you will not see here is anything about my work. The company I work for has many clients with
strong privacy requirements and my employer takes privacy and security very
seriously. My supervisors are also aware
of my blog so it certainly can’t be hidden (in fact I used one of my posts as a
writing sample during my interview!).
As before, I do not know how frequent my posts will be, or
even if this new dedication to my blog will continue, since I have made similar
promises before. And of course I have no
idea how frequent the posts might be, so we will all have to just wait and see.
I wonder how many of my old readers are still here and even
no I am writing again? Amar’s
Brotherhood used to be my largest reader base and that source has been cut off,
in addition to my not posting for 6 months.
Yet my daily hit totals are not much below what they were last year, so
I wonder who my readers are. Regardless,
I will continue to write primarily for me as opposed to for whomever I believe
to be reading. Stay tuned for more
posts…I hope.
