About blogging here
Some friends of mine also have a blog on their homepage, or better to say, it is their homepage. So I thought with switching to WordPress I also start blogging here. But…
I once tried a separate blog about technology and how it’s changing the world constantly. However, a blog like that requires a lot of time, and what’s more frustrating: I would know so many things that I would like to write about and to share with the public, but it’s always on my mind when not being able to write it down, when there’s no time for it, or when I’m far away from any computer. And then when I am in a situation where I could attend to the blog I don’t feel any motivation to do it any more…
Today, I prefer to spend my leisure time not so much at the computer than how it was when I was younger…
And then, there’s also this good question which a good friend of mine recently asked: who’s gonna read all that stuff? I don’t think a personal blog on a personal homepage without a specific topic is much of interest to an open audience. And my friends get updated directly – I prefer real communications with people.
Anyway, for personal blogging there’s Facebook today. All your ‘friends’ get your new entries, without having to drop by and to look at your homepage, or to subscribe to the feed with a rss reader.
So based on all that thoughts, the conclusion about how to handle this blog here is: I don’t have the time to maintain a personal blog with regular updates about my life. Therefor I finally decided to only update this blog when there are some changes made to these pages, e.g. adding new links or changing/updating any pages.
Of course this entry here is the exception to that new rule 
I guess there still will be enough entries… although the frequency of updates may be very low.
