Change of plan

For the last several months I’ve been posting three times a day with short articles written in advance. My ambition was that every time someone visited the site, there would be new material to read or look at. And I hope you’ve enjoyed it. But the articles have been slight, short, and shallow. I have missed interesting stories that aren’t being covered on other science blogs because I’m setting up tomorrow’s posts, or the next day’s. Then by the time I get around to the stories, someone else has covered them. I am switching back to writing at least some substantial articles on topics that interest me when they catch my eye. So the data stream may be less constant but I trust it will be richer.

I’ll still create brief pointers to interesting stories, throw in my favourite LOLcats, and schedule some posts to spread over blank times. But I won’t try to have them come out several times a day.

Tangled Bank is coming soon

I’m scheduling training for the new support group as well as helping to write the Support Group wiki, which I’m getting behind on. I worked until 9:00 p.m. last night (and it’s a day job) and took work home and read Pharyngula and did household chores, in that order. So I won’t be putting Tangled Bank together until tonight after Pilates class. Sorry, guys.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blogging…

I’m going to be busy for the next few days, then away for the weekend (although LotStreetWiz will be back from Vancouver by then to hold the fort). Then I’ll be busy next week and busier the week after as my client’s wiki project gets ready for its debut.

So I might not be able to queue up three blog posts a day, even with my extensive collection of links that I mean to post about some day. Some of them are stale and even the briefest takes time. I’ve set up a series of morning LOLcats that will take me through the weekend and I’ll try to intersperse them with actual science posts. But there are other things in my life.

If you get bored, browse the archives. There are lots of good posts in them.

More links

I’m finally copying over my blogroll from the old version of Science Notes and adding a few more resources. So you’ll notice a lot of “new” links.

I’m leaving out a couple of blogs that haven’t been updated for a while, even though they have good older posts.

Computer problems

laptop computerNow that I’m home with my 2500 new pictures, my laptop computer is having technical problems. All I get is the Blue Screen of Death. None of the starting modes work. I have to dig up some original disks and do something about it so I can get access to recent files and photos.

So I can’t start culling and uploading the pictorial essay of my trip. I’ll get to it when I can.
