Kicking off the Dust

It's been way too long since I've posted anything.

One reason is just that I've been really busy. I know...everyone is busy, and that's not really much of an excuse. But my focus has just been way over there somewhere and not over here. That's just how life is sometimes.

Another big reason is that I tend to the antisocial side of the spectrum: I can go long periods without saying anything to anyone, be it writing or talking. And when I don't feel like I have anything interesting to say (or worth reading in this case), I just simply don't do it.

(Incidentally, it's amazing how much this drives people nuts. I can't count the number of times people have either felt offended, or thought I was a snob, or whatever, simply because I don't say anything. It's nothing personal...I just don't feel compelled to engage in chit chat.)

So, since I didn't feel like I had anything interesting to say/write I just didn't do it.

At any rate I'm kicking off the dust. Things have settled down a bit, and I have a few things I'd like to blog about again.

For starters, I'm going back through my posts and going about fixing the broken code snippets I blogged about last year (took me long enough to address that, didn't it?). I'll update with a new post on how to use the syntax highlighter for code snippets on Blogger as well, since the library I was using has changed significantly since I last used it.

Stay tuned.
