The Last Post? (Or, A Change of Tack)

Hello.

It is vastly enjoyable writing all this rubbish down time and again, and it has been wonderful to expound utter gibberish on anything that pops into my tedious head over the last 4 months.

But there are a vast number of flaws with this blog as a blog.

a) Entries too long.
b) No continuous subject.
c) Not enough links.
d) No multi-media: pictures, YouTube snippets etc.
e) Plenty else, though if I knew all of these I would be able to rectify them and improve the thing.

Anyway, it has been really heartening to find that going too long without writing something down (even if it happens to be about reading on the toilet, mouth ulcers, conflict in Kosovo or a different take on the Nativity) makes me itch to get back to it. For this reason I know it is an interest and not just a chore. But this is probably not the medium to do it and it should never have been intended as such.

Therefore the point of this blog is changing. Rather than being a distraction from what I really want to write about (as in the past), I am purely going to use it as a testing or dumping ground for entries not necessarily meant to be read, or for the public domain, but which do no harm by being there. If war is the continuation of politics by other means, then perhaps blogging is the continuation of writing by other means. I need to get back to the point of the whole endeavour. I intend to set up another blog based on more rigid subject matter inspired by the happy popularity of one post in particular. Perhaps, if that goes well, I'll link it to this blog. But for now I look forward to the far warmer cloak of true anonymity.

Cheers for reading,
Kiran
