Once upon a blog

I have finally decided that I should do some­thing with at least some of the con­tent I wrote dur­ing the long-forgotten half dec­ade of blog­ging that pre­ceded An Unre­li­able Wit­ness, so I have trans­ferred a selec­tion of the posts from those five years onto this site, tweaked them a little, and attemp­ted to stick them all in appro­pri­ate cat­egor­ies (a pro­cess that brought new mean­ing to the word tedium).

It’s called Pre­serving, and while it may indeed be here, it’s also not here. It’s wherever you were (if you will for­give the dread­ful pun). The site will almost never be updated, so you’ve no need to add it to any feeds. It merely exists for you to flick through if you have a spare few minutes or a spare few days, and you wish to fondly recall a time when I was young, inno­cent and dread­fully naive. The other reason it exists is for me — because I am far too pre­cious with my own words and have a fun­da­mental inab­il­ity to let old writ­ing rest in pieces.

    Yes, although it may go against the inter­na­tional rules of blog­ging, I am allowed to have four blogs because I am ace. (This is part of my new self-confidence, pos­it­iv­ity vibe. Are you get­ting it?)

    Okay, Gor­don. I was dread­fully naive. And younger. Inno­cent? Er, well, maybe only maybe.

    I defy any­one to accuse you of cur­rently hav­ing too much time on your hands for your own good…

    Well all I can say is thank God for aggreg­ated news readers :)

    Yeah, I relate to the pre­cious­ness with words thing — I can’t throw them away either. They’re like little traces of me scattered all over bits of paper (either real or elec­tronic). I assume that Freud would have soemth­ing to say about this tend­ency — but who cares?
