time

do i really have so little or am i just spending time doing other things?

little time spent on chi kung / t'ai chi etc of late - hope to get back to it.

finding reading about personality types and David Keirsey's work very interesting right now.

Finding my dan tien

After an on and off relationship with chi kung and tai chi for the last 19 years I've finally experienced my dan tien.

I sensed what felt like a small pool of really dense liquid very low in my pelvis and this heat through my torso.


some useful pointers in this book and thanks to ralph for what he's taught me:

blog moved back here and fancying some chi kung

so a parent i am now and less time i have. I've lacked time to practice t'ai chi (at least I tell myself that), tried a little yoga but it didn't sit well with me - so fancying learning a little more about chi kung. Start with the ba duan jinn and see where we go i think - very curious about the bone/tendon strengthening stuff.

Tooth extraction

Had my back left molar/wisdom tooth extracted yesterday. Under anesthetic it was a surprisingly comfortable experience although as soon as the numbness wore off I found the gaping jaw hole somewhat uncomfortable.

I now have a black sludge filled hole at the back of my mouth - will have to post a piccy at some point.

future of my blog

blog future

What is my blog and what should it be? Currently there are blogs that I post to- mine, my tech one and my warcraft one. That's three you say, well the fourth one is my wedding on and that'll likely stay a separate site.

In fact all four are part of the same thing, an expression of my thoughts, my interests or just plain things that interest me. I'm thinking of merging 3 of the blogs and then using categories to manage the different content.

The other interesting thing for me is the role of persistent versioned documents in the site or blog. A blog i read has been coined a bliki - cross of blog and wiki which tries to express the temporal journal updates and the fact some of the documents are more permanent.

given that i'm quite lazy i'm now looking for software that will enable me to manage my words, journal entries and docs in a sensible and lazy-person friendly way. Part of this will be influenced by my use of dreamhost as a hosting solution.

Key pieces of infrastructure i'm looking at are wordpress blog, mediawiki and joomla content management system. Perhaps a mix is appropriate. I'll investigate as far as my laziness will let me.

Escape Adulthood

Interesting blog from a sun chap:
Escape Adulthood: " Every now and then, I get somebody who asks me why I blog. 'What's in it for you' they'll ask. Quite a while ago, I tried to answer this, but at that time I missed one very good reason. It's the occasional nice email I received complementing me on my blog...."
