Oh my goodness, you wouldn’t believe the frustration and pain I’ve been through with this bleeding blog.
What with one thing and another, it’s been too long since I posted to Open.
I could blame a week of holiday, followed by a trans-Atlantic hopscotch of a meetings schedule…
I could ape Hugh MacLeod and blame an unhealthily deep involvement with Twitter. But I won’t – I think I’ve got my Tweeting under control…
But actually it’s been a down to…
…getting a Mac.
Which led to…
…a big fallout with Ecto and some other blog editors (I really *do* miss the Microsoft Live Writer / OneNote combo that was central to my distributed blogging workflow for so long).
Basically blogging away happily for the past couple of years I ha settled into a rhythm of using those two brilliant software packages in tandem, making it easy to capture text and URLs and almost effortless to put in any image I wanted at any time. A bit like a an (analogue) writer of the last century who can’t get his favourite notebooks or type on his favourite typewriter it completely threw me out of kilter.
I lost my blogging mojo.
Anyway, I’m hoping now – after having half-written a dozen posts and abandoned them in about four different editors that I have managed to settle down with a combination of Ecto along with CaptureMe as a surrogate for the genius (which I took for granted) of Windows’ OneNote’s screen-clipping function.
It feels right. Funny, isn’t it, how these things work?
