Content Tune Up

What features or topics would you like to read more of? Is there anything I haven't been writing about that roughly falls into my areas of knowledge that you would like to read? What is boring the heck out of you?

I try to be as responsive as I can. Now and then folks shoot me an email asking my thoughts on this or that and I drum up a post. The point of mentioning this is that if you want to know what I think about something let me know and you can probably find out. There are areas I am not comfortable talking about in a public/ electronic venue with total strangers and I can obviously only write with any authority about what I know so some topics would not work.

Anyway please let me know so I can make this blog better.

Blogger Fail

Sometimes I schedule a post and forget about it then write another post post. If I am running low on extra stuff I then shuffle things around which is a minor hassle. Other times I just don't bother. In any case you all get an extra article today.

Changes

I've been here in Afghanistan for several months now. Starting to get it pretty ironed out how I am going to operate for the duration and am on the best schedule I can be. I would say that I am doing ok, all things considered. Now I am trying to improve some little things to raise the bar of my functionality and happiness a bit. In this my attention is turning to blogging. Aside from work I eat, exercise, sleep, talk to Wifey, surf the net a little bit and blog, that is pretty much my life. As for the blog I feel like I am getting kind of stale. One part of it is that I am not preparing in the active, doing things sort of sense that lends itself to making great posts. Not a lot I can do about that one. The other thing is that I feel really disconnected from you guys. It is more like I am just talking than the fun, interactive barroom full of friends venue I enjoy. Right now I can think of two things that will help with this. First I am going to make time to reply to comments. It should only take 10-15 minutes a day and I have the time. I have not been good about that. Also I am going to try and start posting stuff sooner after I write it. A discussion about something I thought day or two ago is interesting but something written weeks ago is often out of my head entirely. Hopefully this will help liven things up.

Edited to include: Today I noticed I have been a very bad blogger and there has not been a post for a week. Oops!
