My online absence isn’t a permanent vacation
September 8th, 2007 | Posted in blog 12 Comments »
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.
Hey, thanks Rhonda!
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.
Great to have you back Tom
Thanks for the welcome back.
That royal caribbean cruises maybe was beneficial for you… kidding… welcome back and good luck with your new job.
Sometimes a break is what’s needed to revitalise an established blog.
Annas last blog post..Santa Claus is About to Arrive in Bogata
A well deserved break Tom. Keep the great posts coming.
@Lisa, dude, this post was about 6 months old.
You were absent?
