Vent of Hearing

The best laid plans

I've decided to suspend From the Orient, my web log (in the truest sense of the word), for the time being. It started as a simple list-o-links (did I name the meme? doubt it but it was used elsewhere) grew into something more and ended up taking up a disproportionate amount of my free time to run and update. As a result, other things sagged and grew baggy at the seams. It also became far more introverted into the world of weblogging, far more than I ever wished.

An event this week brought things into focus. I'm not qualified to comment on these things. Aquarion needn't have been so savage, especially as I did consider him a friend. I'll give my thoughts on that little event another time.

Orient will return in a slightly more tricky form, making it a little more fun to play (oops Jethro Tull reference there). More concentration on Oracle, web designing and sciency things that I enjoy.

In the meantime, I'll do the last millennium thing :) of list'o'links as a short term replacement for orient, and work on vent big time. I'll be spending some time working on Vellum too, a major project I've helped Stuart on (in a small way). I think its going to be very impressive.

The ideas I've got for vent will take a little time to sort out, and require Vellum to be operational. If anyone wants to be a contribute for a little writing project I've got, e-mail me. I don't want to spoil the idea, so e-mail only details, but just remember this site is called Vent of Hearing.
