Hari's Corner

Humour, comics, tech, law, software, reviews, essays, articles and HOWTOs intermingled with random philosophy now and then

Nearly a month and no post

Almost a month has gone by and there has been no new post here. That's because I have been busy with my forum LiteraryForums.org. After converting to vBulletin (which is a great forum software, by the way) I have had a lot of other work to do.

I've now gone into a kind of non-technical phase. I'm still using Linux, but I am at a point where I'm more worried about what I do with the OS rather than be worried about the OS itself. Which means no more Debian or Slackware rants from me for a while. ;) A few people here might have also noticed that I no longer post on many forums like I used to in the past in line with my new policy online. In particular the biggest forum I used to visit regularly, LinuxQuestions.org, is no longer in my daily radar.

I had also written a couple of articles but I was not satisfied with the results and they remain as drafts. It seems that writing comes in patches and when you're with the flow of blogging, you tend to blog more freely. A month after a break from blogging, it's hard to get the engines moving again. There seems so little to blog about whereas when you're in the stream you write on almost anything under the sun effortlessly.

I should come back with the next category in the Top 50 Linux apps list soon. Otherwise the list might well remain unfinished.

  1. "I had also written a couple of articles but I was not satisfied with the results and they remain as drafts."I've written a fair number of articles. I've never yet been truly satisfied with any of them. Don't wait until you feel the articles are perfect, or they'll never be published ;)

  2. Dominic, the reason I didn't publish them in the blog is because they're somewhat long and preachy essay-type articles and perhaps not suited to the blog. I am a very hesitant blogger sometimes ;)

  3. Hey Hari,Glad to see a new post here! ;)I tend to have posting sprees on LQ - one day I'll post in six different threads, and then I'll be silent for a week. It'll get a bit more regular during the holidays though.I hope LiteraryForums is going well. I want to make it a part of my daily online presence, but I've been really busy with exams and such.. I hope to be on there more often during the holidays! :)

  5. Glad to see you back Hari. LiterayForums looks great (as I've said before) and not posting on the net is no bad thing! Maybe you could open up a new blog or sub blog for the "prechy" essays, call it "Hari's Soapbox" or similar...

  6. Nah... I think I'll stick to book reviews ;)Do you really want to read my anti-globalization rant? :o

  7. I use the blog to get things out of my head, and into someone else's. Having a seperate soapbox may not be a bad thing....

  8. Hari, good to see you back blogging after a long time. And why worry about publishing preachy articles and stuff? It is your own darned space! Someone who doesn't like them is free to just go away!! Come on... no more writers' blocks please

  9. Hey Sudipta, nice to see you back! Actually the reason is not writers' block. It's just that I've been spending more time at LiteraryForums.org ;) and trying to boost it back. I had been neglecting it too much and I think you should check out the new colours too ;)We've had a lot of changes since you last came there. I'd be happy if you could drop by and see them... :)
