Call of the blogs

It's been another quiet spell for me on the blogosphere. To be honest as Christmas approaches work steps up in pace and I normally return home feeling drained of any creative energy that may once have existed in my poor worn out grey matter. However my thoughts and time have also been distributed over these past few months across other forums. (I suspect fora is grammatically correct, however I stick by my belief that it looks odd.) There are a huge number of online discussion groups, yet finding one that hits the spot or that covers an area that's of particular relevance isn't always a simple task. Fortunately I've found such corners of the internet during the course of the year, and much of my time has been spent their, learning, reading, shareing experiences and information. It really has been an enlightening and highly constructive process.

I suspect my blogging will however see a dramatic resurgence in 2006. There's much travelling on the cards, and being far from home I suspect a blog may be the new preferred means of keeping in contact with the many folks at home, and friends in many countries following my progress. It'll making something of a change, as previously I've stuck to lots of e-mails, but I fancy with a bit of practice I'll be able to match off the need for personalised entries with trying to be as all encompassing as possible. I don't really have the foggiest how much internet connectivity I'm likely to come across. Some areas will be technologically developed, but many will not. It's funny, I've not really got a great idea of just how widespread the internet has becoming. My travels might providing something of an eye-opener on this, as much as on the other aspects of the lands around me.
