Core Dump

If you take a cursory look through my site, you'll see that the inane drivel that I occasionally spout my blog posts are sporadic at best. But looking through all my old post (including those on that secret blog that no one knows about), I pattern emerges.

First, I'll start out strong with a "I know I haven't posted anything in awhile but I'm back and I'm going to keep up this time.... YAY Blogging!!!!1!¡!1!¡". After that, I'll keep on a good stream of drivel content for awhile, then slowly start trickling off. Finally, I won't post anything for a few months. Then I start the process all over again.

I guess this is just to say that I'm starting the cycle over again. If you actually swing by this site every once in awhile, thanks. If you just haven't deleted me out of your RSS Reader yet, thanks. If you don't know what an RSS Reader is, I'll have an upcoming post about "RSS for normal people" (title still pending), since it's the best way to keep up with sites that don't post consistently.

With the release of the MultiDomain module, this brings Drupal a tiny step closer to doing what the LiveJournal codebase can do.

In the linked post, the author mentions how he would like to build a UserDomain module. It would allow each user to have their own subdomain.

There's some minimal integration for OpenID in Drupal 4.7, now if only it could get ported to 5.0.

So what else does LiveJournal have that Drupal doesn't have...yet? I'll update the list more as I think about it, but here's what I have so far.

• Multiple Avatar's per user
• User Domains (hopefully coming soon)
• Clean Groups integration (Organic Groups is almost there, but I still find it lacking)

Bob Christenson's , co-host of my favorite podcast, latest post makes the best excuse for me to resume blogging.

So, upon reflecting on this recently, I wondered to myself: *"Is blogging just as effective in your spiritual development as journaling can be?"*

The answer I can't help but come to is an emphatic YES! Recently, you all will notice that I had mostly stopped blogging. For some unexplainable reason it really seemed detestable to me...sometimes making my physically ill to think about. Weird, I know. I didn't know why I didn't want to do it, I just didn't.

Then, recently, I came to the conclusion that my spiritual development had been slowing down lately...possibly even backtracking. Then, suddenly I realized that *my spiritual development and my willingness to blog both fell off at about the same time. I was starting to see a pattern here.*

For me, not blogging hasn't caused a regression of spiritual development. But I do miss it. This post illustrated that it couldn't hurt for me to get back into it. Although I have said some not nice things that don't reflect well on me in pasts blogs, I'm older, uglier, and wiser in what I write.
