Flat

This place doesn't feel the same any more. My blog I mean. It seems emptier than before somehow, as though it's just my thoughts rattling around in empty space. I know there's at least a few of you out there still reading this, but it feels different that it once did. I'm not sure why. I've been having doubts about continuing blogging recently. It may well be a good way to keep my friends (i.e. you) up to date on my comings-and-goings, but it's a poor substitute for more direct contact. Telephones and what-nots, even email. Not to mention actually meeting in person.

Still, I found myself browsing through my archives recently and was glad that I've recorded what I have. It brought back a flood of memories, some happy, some not so, but nothing I'd change (though I might be tempted to fix some grammar/punctuation/spelling errors). It's a strong incentive to continue The trouble for the moment is that I seem to find myself more and more at a loss for things to write about, which I'm sure is a consequence of my current situation. That I need to get out more and socialise is fairly obvious. And a new job probably wouldn't go amiss either, although the number of programming jobs in Edinburgh are depressingly few. Ironically my particular set of skills are much in demand in London right now, and I even have a few contacts I could put to good use. I'm not about to rush back there anytime soon, but I've never really considered that a return might be a necessity in terms of my career. Although I suppose I could consider a different career. Not sure what though. What do other people do for a living?

Anyway, that's enough introspection for the moment, although if you've any comments, I really wouldn't mind hearing them.
