Willowwood Revival?


Anybody here? Maybe, just maybe, I can get this blog going again.

There's been scant activity here over the past year, with only six entries in 2009, and nearly six months since the last one.

But I'm not giving up yet!

One of the main reasons for my neglect is that I've devoted quite a bit of spare time since last spring to another tech-related activity: app development for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I think that will be the subject of one or more future entries, as I expect to continue pursuing it (and to get an app into the App Store). So that distraction will not go away soon.

But another major distraction has gone away. Despite the fact that I don't even have an app released yet, I recently quit my day job. To be more precise, I took advantage of a voluntary layoff program offered by my employer of 36 years, and retired. There may still not be enough hours in the day or days in the week to satisfy me, but I hope to find more time for blogging.

On another blog-related note, you might notice that the comment-submission feature here has changed. This is the result of the demise of the old Haloscan mechanism, now replaced by Echo. Give it a try, and we'll see how this works out.
