[this post will be bumped up to the top every day for the next week or so, but it was originally posted august 18, 2008... if you have read this announcement already, just scroll down to see new posts...]

beginning asap, my blog is going to get updated a lot more frequently - i am going to start aggregating my twitter, flickr, etc. into this one spot…

two things have triggered this:
one - finding out that twitter is not keeping a long-term archive of my posts… and they weren’t searchable anyway… if only i had started archiving long ago :(
and two - having a dslr and being able to view the pics on my psp and now realizing i can upload to flickr from my psp (and flickr will then post them to my blog), i think i will start finally using flickr more… i hope…

but, my blog has never been a frequent-update kinda’ place… this has always mostly been just a place to put links to everything and all my contact info… so, for the last five or more years, i have used the service offered by changedetection.com to notify, via email, those who wanted to be notified when something changed on the site even before it was a blog… this has been handy for the less-tech-saavy in my life who don’t use rss, etc. to keep updated… well, since the blog will be updated daily (i have already turned on the service to daily make a blog post containing all the day’s twitters), i am going to discontinue the use of the changedetection.com service… i know this will be a bummer for some, but there is no sense in having an email go out every day…
the real problem is that changedetection is anonymous… i don’t know who is subscribed to me… so, i will leave the service up for a few days and hopefully you will read this post…

i look forward to my blog becoming something that gets updated regularly, and to using flickr more - i have quite a few photos i want to show off :) and there will be a few tweaks to the sidebars of the site, and i may even bring back the chatbox so people can comment in general on the site, rather than commenting on a specific post or photo or whatever… and i will probably integrate dashwire to some extent, maybe this shozu thingy i’ve been playing with…

either way, big changes are a-comin’… maybe i’ll change the version number of my blog to 5.1 :P
