Half-blog: the container is blog-style but not its content

I haven't had much time nor energy to post anything here... usually this happens when I'm overloaded with technical documentation at work. The past months have been very busy writing business functional specification, modeling and design and other architecture document. Not that I despise this or anything, but it seems that whenever I exceed a number of written words threshold (for a given time period) then writing becomes less enjoyable. I guess this is applicable for a lot of things we do in life!

I'm now taking the opportunity to change the title of this blog to something that reflects more what it's all about: Anything but a blog.

Ok don't have to point out the contradiction... however I could have also defined it more judiciously: Half-blog : the container is blog-style but not its content. This is particularly true with the everything-must-be-instantaneous trend reaching new level with the Twitter fad! That is simply not my style, as I'd much rather take the time to reflect on things then simply comment them...which is a probably not a bad thing considering the amount of time I spent doing analysis and architecture type of work.

Actually, if I were to position this blog in a linear spectrum where we have on one side "Twitter" and at the extreme opposite side "Encyclopedia" , I would probably position it like :

Twitter                                                                                                            "this site"      Encyclopedia

Obviously this spectrum is more about "container" than "content" as I can't pretend (yet), the "content" to be this close to an Encyclopedia  ;-)!

For the upcoming time, I will continue using this space more as an archival document repository, a reference tool for technology, a handy place to keep my notes and .... probably more and more as a tool for family experience sharing.
