Blog Fail

Shit! I have failed to blog for a whole year! (Did you notice that? I just bloggged about blogging! Now I can add ", Meta-blogger" to my name and get tons of jobs!)



Oh well. Ain't that bad, blogging's stupid anyway when you never update. So to justify updating in the future, I'll just call it "public writing exercise".



By the way, the excuse is the Royal Danish Airforce this time around -- and Switzerland too.

Quantity vs. Quality

Jeff Atwood just posted something on his excellent blog Coding Horror. A blog post! How do he do it? It's amazing!

Self deprecation aside, he has an explanation why he publish so well so often while I fail miserably. Because he has a schedule he follows, posting at least something every n days, while I want to write something really good, before I post something.

And I believe he is right that (focusing on) quantity trumps quality (at least initially). You don't become a better writer by sitting and thinking; you become a better writer by sitting and writing. Although thinking doesn't hurt.

All of which means:

I must write more blog posts!
