blogging

I used to love the Windows version of LiveWriter, and saw a tweet today to let me know that an open-sourced fork of it was available.  This may restore my love of blogging; the interface is simple to use, and doesn’t feel as unfamiliar as the “blocks” used in WordPress these days. 

The tool is a bit rough in places; I couldn’t get plugins to work, and pasting the above image from the clipboard also was challenging, but overall, it’s a welcome advance.  Just feels natural to an old-school blogger like myself.

Lots of good ideas, but can’t seem to find the time to actually sit down and write about them. At the end of the year (2020), I had a major health scare; turned out to be ok, but it was significant enough to wake me up. I’d like to write about that someday.

I’d also like to describe my network setup. I’ve spent a lot of time working from home, and trying different approaches to staying connected. I’ve finally landed on a solution I like, and I need to spend some time diagramming it.

I should also blog about my job, and some of the challenges and fun stuff we do. I’ve recently started card games at lunch with my team, and I’m hoping that’s going to spur some new relationships. I’ve also started using a PIP tracking tool to help guide conversations with an employee who needs specific guidance (which is a weakness of mine).

So here’s the deal; consider this a blog post about blogging. My goal is to write one of these by the end of the week.
