I really don't mind if people find my stuff (thanks for the heads-up and the comment. It's fixed).

It's just that it is so crazy, with ego and money to be made. I really have neither interest, so I don't have the energy or the inclination to do much to promote.

I spend most of my time actively writing software, and my postings are occasional "breaks," where I spend a couple of days, writing about something. It gives me a chance to "regroup," and, sometimes, explaining stuff helps me to understand it, myself, better.

I agree that longform blogs are important and good, but it has been my experience that very few people are actually interested in them.

For example, I will sometimes write a comment (you may have noticed that my comments tend to be long), and a reply is made, highlighting one sentence; usually context-free, and adding some kind of "slap."

Often the "slap" is someone saying that I am not talking about the very thing that most of the comment was about. They didn't even bother to read the whole comment. What makes me think they would read one of my long-ass screeds?

These Romans are crazy.
