Those of your with keen senses may have noticed this blog has not been updated for some time (even by slowblogging standards). After 4 years of writing I have decided to take a hiatus. Like any good tortoise, it has gone into hibernation for the winter months and will most probably emerge some time in [...] Read more »
Blog as if No One is Reading
I have just deleted Google Analytics from this site. I got sick of staring at it, of worrying about how many readers I have, who has been looking at my site, what keywords people are using. Every time I wrote a blog entry I would panic about how many people would read it, whether they [...] Read more »
Slow Blogging Revisited
I seem to do everything wrong. According to the top bloggers out there at least. I don’t post often or regularly, I write long(ish) meandering posts, they take awhile to get to the point (if there actually is a point) and I often digress (often in long brackets). I make a few grammatical and spelling [...] Read more »
Slower Than Expected Blogging
Unfortunately, due to a few changes in my day-to-day life recently I am going to have to put this blog on a bit of a hiatus. It doesn’t mean I am stopping this blog, it just means that entries will be even slower than usual. For more regular updates you can visit my twitter feed [...] Read more »

I have, in fact, been quite mean about it in the past (see my “Twittering Nonsense” post here), then I changed my mind and decided, misquoting Shakespeare (one of my all time favourite people), that “there is nothing (inherently) slow or fast, but thinking (or acting) makes it so”. So, [...] Read more »
This is a Slow Blog
Slow Blogging applies the slow philosophy to the blogosphere. It eschews the current blogging paradigm of “faster equals better” and that posting blog entries frequently is necessary, or in fact, that posting frequently is the “right way” to blog. This blog “happens when it happens” and will be updated as and when I have something [...] Read more »
It Happens When It Happens
Well, I am sorry for not blogging for over 2 weeks, I have been on holiday and on my return had a lot of little bits to sort out. I spent a lovely week in Crete, nice food, nice wine, just sunbathing and catching up on a pile of books I wanted to read. Whilst [...] Read more »
A Quick (!) Update
Hi, Sorry for the lack of blogging of late. I have been away on holiday and whilst I was away I have been finding myself mulling over the future of the blog/journal part of this site. I will publish a full entry about this and what I intend to do in the next few days. [...] Read more »
