3.1

Yesterday, I updated to WordPress 3.1 here on D4D™. No idea what the real differences are, or whether there’s anything that’ll rise up and bite me on the backside.

Still, it’s good to be on top of these things. Allegedly.


Moving On ?

2010 has been – to say the least – a year of changes round here. There’s been a lot going on, and a lot of thinking being done over the last couple of months.

One of the things that has gone by the wayside a lot in that time is D4D™ – and for the first time since I started writing it, I haven’t missed writing here. In some ways I feel like I’ve run out of things to say here – or perhaps more accurately, things that I want to say here.

Back in the day, D4D™ started off as a writing project, somewhere to put my thoughts and head down. It wasn’t going to be super-personal, wasn’t going to be lots of things. It was a kickback against people telling me I always start projects and don’t finish them. And it’s true- there’s a whole ton of things I’ve started and not completed. It’s still true today. I don’t like that part of me, but it is part of me.

D4D™’s ended up being quite personal in places, and that’s caused issues this year. It became less about fiction, and more about reality – or at least my perception of that reality.

So I don’t know, I wonder if D4D has come to the end of its life. Maybe still here for the odd random update, but in general time to go into hibernation, or perhaps even cryosleep.

I’ll still be writing somewhere once I get my finger out – between the stuff I do on CeltX for ‘proper’ writing, and a couple of other online writing projects I’ve got in mind, it’ll keep me busy anyway.

I’ll decide for sure over the Festive Break, I think. Just see how it all goes.

It’s been good, though. Now for the next phase.


Wp 3.0.3

Just a quick reminder – if you’re running WordPress, update to the latest version ASAP.

It’s only been a couple of weeks since 3.0.2 came out, but it’s definitely A Good Thing to keep up to date.


Quiet

For the first time in eight years or so, it’s gone a bit quiet here at D4D™

There’s a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes, and a great deal of thinking is happening too. For once I don’t really want to write about it, but more to the point I don’t feel the need to write about it. Whether or not that’s a good thing is something only time will tell, really.

So for now, it’s a bit quiet.


39

Today, I is 39.

Today, I is travelling down to Bristol to be at Pixeldiva‘s wedding. A camera will be in attendance too.

Today is a good day.


Weekend Downtime

Another weekend, another quiet weekend on D4D™. These things seem to be becoming a bit of a regular pattern.


Culling 2

As well as cutting the number of links in the Blogroll yesterday, I’m also in the process of cutting out a number of the domain names I own. In all cases I’ve had plans or ideas for them, but they’ve not been done, so I’m going to cut down on the outstanding list.

It may be that in time to come I regret this, but for the most part I’ve had those domains long enough that I really should’ve done something with them if I planned to. I’m keeping some – the ones where I’ve really got ideas – but a goodly number are going to fall by the wayside.

In some ways it annoys me that I’m giving up on these. In others, well, it seems like common sense to do so. I think that reducing the number of things on my “want to do/try” list might actually help me get the ones done that remain on the list once this purging process is over and done with.

Of course it might not, too.  We’ll see.
