Mistake

I should not have promised to start blogging about anime again before I actually had broadband Internet at home.

SBC now claims to have no record of me ever placing an order, which is an odd way to screw up. You'd think they'd at least charge me.

All this is notwithstanding the fact that I have a post about anime I've already seen half-written, and just need to talk myself into finishing and posting it.

OK, let's try this again.

Well, that was rather a longer hiatus than I expected.

There's a general principle involved here: for each day you miss, the next one is easier.

So, over the course of the last couple months, I got a job, wrote the infrastructure for a programming contest, (last year's website might be more enlightening, if you're curious,) finished the first level of a game (and it'll be up on the Web just as soon as I find some legally distributable music to replace the temp-track, which is "The Six Are Always Together" from Azumanga Daioh - if anyone reading knows someone who knows someone, I'd happily provide more details,) took final exams, and pretty much always managed to find something more interesting or important to do than write up the last couple episodes of Air.

But my traffic logs tells me that people still come to this site, which is either a touching demonstration of reader loyalty or a damning indication of just how much of my traffic came from first-time visitors. And I thought, at least while I was writing, that it was a mostly worthwhile thing to do and that I'd like to keep doing it.

So I'm going to try again, albeit maybe with some fiddling in the made-up rules. I'll attempt a post that's actually about anime this weekend.
