I can’t believe I almost forgot it!

De-lurking Week is something I’ve been looking forward to all year! Originally started by Sheryl at Papernapkin, I first encountered the idea on Veerle’s blog and loved it. “Lurkers” refer to people who read blogs but don’t comment in them. Whenever I look in my stats I see people visiting from all over the world, and I’m always curious as to who you people are, what brings you here, and what you think of the site. Whether you’re a n00b or a long-time visitor, De-lurking Week is is your chance to throw caution to the wind and leave a comment letting me know who you are, what you do and where you are from. It’s also the perfect opportunity to give suggestions for future postings. If there’s a topic you’d like to see me tackle, let me know!

So don’t be shy; leave a reply!

(Wow, did I really just say that? Well, I guess it’s better than “Call now! Operators are standing by!”)

It’s been a long, hard road, but I’m very proud to present AWG 2.0. Not only is there a new design, but everything underneath has also been reworked. The site should now be more focused, easier to use (for you as well as for me), and just generally more polished. While the amount of time that elapsed in bringing you this was inordinate, I hope you’ll agree with me that it was worth it in the end.

a warm gun: Where the fun never stops!

So there’s a lot of things that are going on around here. First on the list is to actually implement the commenting system, which is about 90% finished. Some things to include will be the Turing test and to be able to keep the URLs nice and simple, as they already are. Also, I want to integrate Textile into it, so that the comments are typographically correct. (Now if only I could make it fix people’s grammar and spelling…)

Well folks, I’m back and I should be here to stay! I’m writing to you right now from my new (to me) 12″ iBook G3 900, which I’ve just finished getting set up!

My first article was apparently something of a minor success, getting MacSlashed and linked to by d.sankey.ca, Daniel Andrews, Geek Hideout, and MacVolPlace. It’s very pleasing to see that people are actually talking about something that I wrote. Now I just have to keep the articles coming.
