Still alive despite not much Internet evidence
It's been almost two months since I've written here, probably in part due to adding work back into my schedule. I still feel sort of freshly-back, too: summer at the office is always kind of unreal with so many people gone on vacation and most serious planning put off until the fall. This state of affairs is pretty good for the one project I'm on that hits high, sometimes-frantic production mode over the summer, though. I've been grinding out tables today from the pre-release test area to make sure nothing got damaged in transport; so far things are looking good.
With the emergence of Google+ and less time, I've been thinking a lot about which online services are the most fun and best to keep in a streamlined routine. Twitter is out for being too junk-foody for me, Google+ doesn't feel quite right (too much drag-and-drop and weird scrolling in addition to the real-name debacle), and Facebook, while still good for reaching people by name and maybe still good for inviatations (although who trusts "yes", let alone "maybe", to plan event head-counts), needs some tuning and trimming to make its good points outweigh its annoyances.
I like Dreamwidth and Livejournal more than my posting frequency would indicate, though!
Lunch break is over, and I'm back to turning the verification crank, but as I pop onto the Internet, I do think how I use it is going to evolve pretty fast in the coming months.
