Back By Popular Demand

Several people have approached me recently and told me that they had found this blog and had enjoyed it. That's both surprising and gratifying. I consider my writing skills, at best, a work in progress and the rather limited appeal of the subject matter was sure to keep any potential audience to a minimum.

I started the blog in 2003 not for any sort of exposure, but as a way to save some information about the game that I wanted to keep handy, and as a way to practice my expository writing skills. I didn't tell anyone outside of a few close friends that I had the blog and expected no one else to read it. I used this format because anything that's in an off-line format is dead to me half the day and Google Docs hadn't been invented yet.

So, I kept it for about 2 years and added to it as I had time (usually at work when other distractions (like the game itself) are at a minimum). So you can find hit and miss updates about Bianca and I's experiences in Everquest land from roughly 2003 to 2005. Since I didn't (at the time) have an audience, there wasn't any effort to maintain a coherency between posts and capture everything of relevance that might have happened between updates.

As with most things of this sort, it became a bother to keep it up and since it was just for me anyway, I let it go. Even though I hadn't posted anything new to it, I maintained publishing the last version because it was a handy place for the EQ-centric links that are built into the template. Well, now thanks to Google some people have found the blog and wondered why I didn't update it anymore.

And that lead Bianca to read it. She gets a little obsessive when she find blogs that she likes and she starts at the very beginning and reads them to the end. If they are any good, she adds them to her reader and follows them thereafter. Now she is 2/3s of the way through this and bugging me to resume writing it. Why, I can't really imagine. If I start from today, what I write won't be news since we will have just done the things I talk about.

OK, so rationality doesn't have to play a part in it and back to work we go. I doubt you can schedule your life around the coming updates as I have no way of knowing if I will be able to find any consistent time to update this, but I will resume trying to update it.

Thanks for reading, now go get cable TV or something...
