At some point, it gets to be SO long since the last blog entry that it no longer really works to just say, "Yeah it's been a while, but here's an update." There's no way I could write even a little bit about everything that's happened in the past few months. Even if I could, I doubt it would be worth reading. And I could say, "I'll be updating more frequently." But I really hate lying - I have no reason to believe I'll update more often.
As I mentioned to Alan, if I had any yarbles, I'd close down my blog like he closed down his. But I'm also more of a packrat, and since this waste of space doesn't really cost anything, I'll probably just keep it around.
