			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple of weeks ago I sat down to write a post called <em>&#8220;Is Twitter killing this blog?&#8221;</em> but in the process managed to hose the whole blog while doing an upgrade of the software. I needed back-end access to the server to fix something that went wrong during the upgrade only to find out that there was something wrong with the account such that I was locked out. Thankfully, it didn&#8217;t take too long for the nice folks at PlusNet to sort things out and I was able to get the blog back up and running.</p>
<p>However, it took me a couple more weeks to get round to writing this post, so&#8230; Is Twitter killing this blog? Well, perhaps not killing it but certainly slowing it down. I can certainly vent minor, trivial thoughts to Twitter, which I might have previously spun into a post here. Also, now that there&#8217;s a small band of friends on Twitter, I&#8217;m enjoying the banter there&#8230; far more feedback there already than here.</p>
<p>In addition, life is fairly settled currently, so there doesn&#8217;t seem to be much to write about. And then there&#8217;s Ben&#8217;s DS. I think I&#8217;m catching up for several years of missed computer games. I&#8217;m at 97% on Lego Star Wars Saga. I think if I can grind my way to 100% I&#8217;ll have definitely maxed out and be able to leave it alone for a while.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I&#8217;ve been <a href="/weblog/2009/01/28/twit-too/">wondering about Twitter</a> and was going to wait until the fourth anniversary of this blog to sign up in some bizarre attempt to mark the occasion&#8230; and then Louise&#8217;s friend invites her to sign up and there was <strong>no way</strong> that I was going to let Louise beat me to the punch on that one, so we sat there and signed up together.</p>
<p>So &#8212; and incidentally I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve started <em>enough</em> clauses in this post with the word &#8220;so&#8221; so far &#8212; now you can <a href="http://twitter.com/anotherandrew">follow me</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/louisessmith">also Louise</a> in (potentially) tedious detail. Actually, the more I think about it the more I like the concept of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-blogging">micro-blogging</a>. There are so many small, ephemeral thoughts I&#8217;d like to <del>inflict on</del> share with friends and family that never get as far as this blog.</p>
<p>Now my only issues are whether I should actually be publishing on <a href="http://identi.ca/">indenti.ca</a> and what picture to use on my profile.</p>
