the Sam Jackson College Experience » miscellaneous http://www.samjackson.org/college all the exciting parts, none of the heavy debt burden Sun, 05 Sep 2010 21:05:47 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 The sad reality is that I now tweet more than I blog! http://www.samjackson.org/college/2009/06/04/the-sad-reality-is-that-i-now-tweet-more-than-i-blog-2/ http://www.samjackson.org/college/2009/06/04/the-sad-reality-is-that-i-now-tweet-more-than-i-blog-2/#comments Thu, 04 Jun 2009 06:48:22 +0000 Sam Jackson http://www.samjackson.org/college/2009/06/04/the-sad-reality-is-that-i-now-tweet-more-than-i-blog-2/ That's not really a reflection of the "changing times in social media" or the "stagnation of blogging in favor of more compact forms of communication" or the "trend towards ever-increasing narcissism in online self-expression." No, it's mostly just for the continuing reason that there is unfortunately little that I feel really needs to be said on the subjects that this blog addresses, and that I've been very busy.

I finally found an apartment in San Francisco, and though I am sure there will be conflicts and problems, I am very happy about that indeed. In blog-related updates, I have changed the contact form from the years-ancient "WP Contact Form" to the new, sexier Contact Form 7 with additional CAPTCHA support to assist the Resistance effort against robots and spam computers. Apologies if this causes any inconvenience; for the most part it should just makes things better, with more AJAX and an exciting new layer of database calls. I'd just been getting a really intolerable amount of spam recently, so, it had to go.

Hopefully I'll be able to share more about my fun summer exploits, and I will definitely make a greater effort to document it than before. Mostly, I'm just baffled as to what combination of organic traffic and robot crawlers continue to read my website. If people actually read my new posts (if only to tell me how banal they are) it would be a good encouragement. Anyhow, that's all for this late night update. As always, follow me on Twitter for up to the minute updates of my baking exploits and random ruminations. The feed is shown here in the sidebar as well.
