I started this blog in 2024, after this platform reached a usable stage – and to be fair, because there was a special offer going on.
To be blunt, from the start, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to post here. I started a blog intended for programming and other computer-based stuff a year ago, and this far there are no posts there beyond the ones explaining how I built the blog.
I also wanted to have a RPG blog, but wondered about the focus or even the language. Thus I spend a lot of time pontificating about this on Mastodon or forums, but no articles yet.
To get some pressure onto myself, I started doing weekly recaps. Always not on the day I wanted to, which might’ve been a sign. I liked doing the link part of it, but the rest felt… off. Recapping the week is more a journaling thing, and while blogs definitely started out that way, I don’t think this is where I want to be going. I did this way back when I still had plenty of hair, when livejournal was a thing, and it ended up complaining a lot that I didn’t get some after going clubbing…
So I’m ditching the week notes. I know people who are doing it very well, but most of them also got a more varied week – I’m not complaining, don’t get me wrong.
I will post links, but probably more short blog posts about a collection of those or using one to craft a short essay about it.
I’m actually about to do the RPG blogging I talked about here, as I think I currently have enough things to say about and projects in that space that move a bit. I also decided to do it in English. Link here soon…
I think these two decisions about what not to post here will help me find a better direction. If I find enough long-form and short-form content about computery topics, I might resurrect Executable Pseudocode, especially given that we don’t have very good code formatting here (neither does EP, but I can fix that).
Do I dare to say that I’m aiming for #100daystooffload in 2025? Not yet, but boy, if I do get there…
