Why I am not a blogger

I set up this blog not knowing whether I would make significant use of it or not.

It turned out that I hardly ever added to it or looked at it. I have decided that blogging is not what I am interested in insofar as the blogging mechanism expects me to organise my thought by date, whereas for me the dates are irrelevant: it's the ideas that count.

So instead I create multiple web sites with all sorts of half-baked or more or less than half-baked thoughts and then go on modifying or adding to them when I get new ideas or others send me criticisms or suggestions.

So they are all essentially constantly changing (some more slowly than others) extensions of my mind (or brain). The state of any of them at any particular time is of no more significance than the state of my brain at that time. Both keep changing and developing.

So this may turn out to be my last ever blog post.
