My online absence isn’t a permanent vacation

September 8th, 2007 | Posted in Blogging |

It’s been a while since my last post. Sure I’ve busy with the move and new job, but I’ve also just fallen out of the habit of blogging. I know blogging can be evidence of an active, engaged mind, so I don’t ever want to give it up. Please don’t mistake my absence for a permanent vacation. I’m just in transition right now and other things are on the forefront of my life.

So where has my mind been? I’ve been learning a lot about storage area networks and the like. Plus my days are on a different schedule (four 10 hour days). Within a month or so I’ll settle back into the rhythm of things.

Same goes for the podcast. I like reaching out and interacting with people. I also miss the frequent comments and interaction from this blog.

Welcome back. I notice you have a new icon in the URL line. I’ve wondered how one does that, and you obviously have either figured it out or gotten a new web host. Anyway, I’ll look forward to your future insights.

Welcome back Tom! We missed you.

Janet, the icon is called a favicon, and is always a file called favicon.ico that has to live at the root level of your website. 16×16 pixels is the preferred size. Some websites will create one from your own image (see my newsletter from Sept 2005: http://www.cybertext.com.au/newsletters_2005.htm). Just download the favicon, save it with that name and reference it in your HTML files or template. Done.

Janet, actually a techie friend of a friend pointed out my lack of a favicon and sent me this transparent pencil. I kind of like it, even though I personally don’t use pencils.

Maybe you can turn it into a stylus.
