No blogging
I had been quiet for the last couple of months. There are couple of reasons for that. First, about seven weeks ago I accepted a position of a Member of Technical Staff with VMware and moved back to Silicon Valley — these past couple of months were quite busy. Second, I cannot find a good unobtrusive and reliable way to post to my blog. For short blurbs, I want to be able to do it from anywhere, but using my cellphone is too inconvenient (I abandoned my PDA a few years ago). I could use Google Docs, but (1) it doesn’t work with Safari and (2) I wasn’t able to make it post to my MovableType-based blog. I also want to be able to “reply” to other people’s blog posts on my own blog, but trackbacks seem to have disappeared from all but a few blogs. Third, I had been working on a few longer articles and I realized that (1) I don’t want to mix meaningless musings with longer better thought out pieces on the same blog and (2) I don’t know how to tell if the article is finished, so I keep revising it over and over and over.
Any words of advice for me? 
Might I suggest some combination of a wiki and Twitter?
I keep trying Twitter from time to time (http://twitter.com/sudarkoff), but I can’t force myself to keep it updated. Quite frankly, I can’t imagine anyone doing it for any reasonable length of time. I could probably write a couple of scripts that would update my location based on where my bluetooth-enabled phone is registering at the moment, but that would be boring. Plus, the privacy-conscious part of my brain would object!
I only use twitter to post about something very significant or funny, or special – in other words, when I do or see something i want to get on the radio with. twitter is your personal ham radio wave, use it when you need it to express moment of truth, love, happiness, beauty, etc.
