A Change of Direction for LongCountdown

I’m so active around the net these days that this blog is starting to gather dust. Probably the biggest reason is because I’m always on JapanSoc.com and the JapanSoc Community Blog. Usually, whenever I get the urge to talk about Japan, I turn to one of those two sites rather than my own blog. It’s much easier to post a one paragraph comment than put together a large blog post.

Another reason is I’m blogging once a week on my brother’s site, VirtualTripping.com. We each fly off to some remote location in Google Earth, take a photo and write about the place we visited. That’s something I enjoy doing at the weekend.

I’ve also been busy behind the scenes at JapanSoc…

  • I’ve set up a development site
  • I’ve been working on building a blog-sized FAQ
  • I’m setting up a social networking extension to JapanSoc with the exciting title, JapanSoc Groups.

This has led to me joining various computing forums to learn more about the technical side of things. Specifically, I’m a regular on the SWCMS forum and the Elgg Users Google Group.

So, where does that leave LongCountdown? Well, I’m going to try my hand at micro-blogging, i.e. posting small, regular updates on what I’m doing or working on. That should be quite manageable, even if it’s not as interesting to read as my exploits with stool samples.

I hope you stick around!
