                      Just an observation, nothing more

As I've been cleaning up blog entries [1] (the first few years also have some
pretty bad formatting issues) I've noticed something—I used to write a lot
more back then. I think part of that is that the whole “blogging” thing was
new, and after twenty-plus years, I've covered quite a bit of material. There
have been multiple instances where I come across somthing, think I should
blog about that, and when I check to see if I have, indeed blogged about
that, I already have. Also, it's a bit more of a pain these days as I
manually add links to my blogs at MeLinkedInstaMyFaceInGramSpaceBookWe. This
used to be automated in the past, but InstaMyFaceMeLinkedWeInGramSpaceBook
doesn't play well with others and with constant API (Application Programming
Interface) updates and walled garden policies, it's sadly, easier to manually
update links than it is to automate it [2] (also this chart [3]). I mean, I
don't have to update links at MyFaceMeLinkedInstaInGramSpaceBookWe, but
pretty much everybody just reads MeLinkedInstaMyFaceWeInGramSpaceBook (Web?
What's that?) which is why I bother at all.
