Welcome to Diminished Capacity

Welcome to "Diminished Capacity", the brand new home for my extended fits of blathering.

I've kept saying I was going to set up a blog for a long time, but I never actually got in a large enough supply of "round tuits" before now.

More to the point, I've finally found a blogging program that does things roughly the way I like. (Actually, it doesn't quite do what I want, so I'll probably rewrite it when it becomes irritating enough to me. That's a different story, though.)

My intent is to republish all the rants I currently post to various other places here, and to use this as a home base for new ones. Usenet is dead, and mailing lists are pretty limited in scope. Blogs seem to be taking over the role of providing places for people to express themselves. I'm hoping this is a better medium for archiving my thoughts.

Will I write regularly for this thing? Maybe, maybe not. I suppose it depends on how it feels. We'll see how it goes.

You will note that the blog doesn't contain a "comments" mechanism. Part of that is because I wanted to start with a blogging system that produced purely static content. Part is that I also prefer to decide on what goes up on this site. If you want to say something about things I've posted, send me email.
