A post from the aether « Snaffy's Space

Wow, things have been pretty quiet around here lately haven't they?

What is a personal blog? To me it's a nice soapbox where I can say things I want to say and people can comment on them. Lately, I just haven't had the time. Well, I've had the time, but I've been prioritizing that time a bit differently. There are four main things that are keeping me from posting:

Massively.com -- This is where I get most of my creative juices flowing. I usually post here first if I have a brainwave on something.
AionLevelingGuide.com -- This new project has been taking up a lot of my time as well. I'm scouring the web for free guides and personally reviewing pay-for guides to share with the interwebs. Protip -- there's money in affiliate marketing.
Actually playing Aion -- For the past six months I've basically been homeless as an MMO player, which meant I had lots of free time. Since Aion launched I've been spending a lot of my hobby time in-game (Snafzg the Asmodian assassin of Havok on Lumiel if you care).
Twitter -- Ugh, yeah I got kind of sucked in. While far from an addiction, I do find it quite handy to post micro-snippets of thoughts I have to share. Usually, these aren't worthy of a full blog post.

So there you have it. I went from playing WAR and blogging about it on theGreenskin.com to getting a job with Massively, starting up a new income-generating side project, playing a new MMO, and finding quick release in Twitter. That's pretty much why this blog has been languishing. Heck, Syp has been trying to get me involved in a podcast for weeks now and I'm just not able to work it in with all that + RL responsibilities.

I'm always going to keep this blog alive but things might remain a bit quiet around here for some time.

Glad to see you're doing well, Snaffy! I'm right there with ya... crazy busy with RL stuff and not commenting as much on the blogs I regularly read, including Syp's. I also quit WAR, along with my guild (and most of PT, seems like), and moved over to Lumiel.

Hopefully we'll see more of you once things settle down a bit! Until then, see you in the Abyss! ;)

Hey man. . . are you done posting? Haven't seen you here or on Massively in a long time. What about a long weepy goodbye? Aren't we even entitled to that? I mean that's what happens when people close up shop. Of course they say it's not supposed to be a heart-wrenching goodbye, but we all know they want sypathy.

So, uh. . . should I remove you from my favorites and google reader, or what?
