< a clear message - albeit w/ backpeddaling
I have been writing on the internet for as long as I had access to it, which is a *really* long time ago! Early 90s?
Even before I had my first modem, as a teenager I would go to telnet clubs.
I never considered myself a writer: writing on the internet to me was a way to seek human connection outside of the small boundaries of the tiny village where I grew up.
When I was blogging more constantly, it was mostly to share interesting or potentially useful stuff with others ("Look at this great book I read", "Here is a piece of software that works really well", "This project is really cool...").
Meanwhile, I'd document my own life (on and off, very inconsistently) with pen and paper on a journal.
The past few years I stopped doing any of these things, because of burnout and other reasons and I kind of miss it.
I miss being able to look back and see how I have grown and changed.
I have it as a goal for this year to go back to documenting my life, I think I might just do it online again - it won't be structured blogs anymore, but perhaps the things I share will still help someone, somewhere.
If not, well, it will just be a mix of screaming into the void and/or getting a different perspective on things if anyone ends up reading my thoughts.
I am smitten with Apostrophe for Linux/GMOME right now. Recommended by someone on Mastodon, but Linux writing app I think I have ever used. One of the best in used ever, actually. Thats 30+ years of writing apps! :)
Yea I stopped a bunch of blogging but ok with writing on my laptop at times though. An midnight. More activity here + nice atmosphere (bar on the edge of the web) :)
