Empty trays and a bit of a lull indicate a good time for a couple of days off. So I have some spare time tomorrow and on Friday, which feels luxurious right now. What could have been the 'Night of the Long Knives' for the Memebership Committee on #gnome
becomes (after a long, hard struggle against flameage) a reasonably positive experience. Could not have made it without the support of some old friends however, for which I'm grateful. Inevitably I'm questioning my contribution - but like I said - I think we do the best we can with what we have, basing decisions on a somewhat open policy, along with prior decisions. As for how often we get it wrong, that would depend on one's view on personal responsibility and accountability I suppose. Overall, its been a troubling and tiring night - and I just hope people understand I'm not really a perl
script. Much progress on literary projects too, which also provides some encouragement.
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
