More on Tumblr

OK so some weeks have passed and my Tumblr is getting more posts. Mostly of the “post a link/quote/observation” type. The bookmarklet is pretty amazing. If you just select something on a page and use it, it automatically assumes it’s a quote-type post. Pain free posting. Beats the hell out of my earlier method, which was sending an email to my blog, which in its turn was quicker than firing up emacs, deciding on a title etc.

I’m not really sure how I should continue using this in the future. On the one hand, having one centralised location for all my “activity” online is pretty neat. On the other, it gets spammy fast, and I’d like to keep this blog high-signal, low-noise, building on my personal brand.

So expect more quick throwaway entries on Tumblr. Feel free to add the feed to your aggregator.

Oh, and I’ve removed the stuff mentioned earlier. Only original content.
