I have been working on Rocketstable and several new designs for this site for some weeks now. Without a deadline, of course, nothing sticks to the wall, and every design seems to lack some strength of another. All very frustrating. And why change from a Winter to Spring design when snow is still on the ground?

It has done me a disservice to look at so many blogs at Blogger and Weblogs.com. Even with my relatively sparse social life and a surprising addiction to href="http://www.unrealtournament.com/">Unreal Tournament, I don't have the time to maintain the sort of riveting online journal that seems to be in demand these days. Instead I occasionally contribute to Metafilter, which although billed as a sort of "collective blog" seems to remind me more of the grand old BBS discussion forum of the early-1990s, or even, dare I say, old old Usenet.

Anyway, when I switch over to the new scheme I will also be switching over to Blogger for three more specific and probably not over-frequent blogs. Stay tuned.
