It’s been a busy time at Chez Fetti, not that this is a good enough excuse for the posting lacuna. Conducting concerts in New Mexico and California, teaching a distance-education course in problem solving, moving to the big (bigger) city, arranging my leave of absence from my institution…all of these will provide plenty of material for the upcoming posts.
Welcome to spring 2008!
As a way to reintroduce myself to my own blog (work has gotten in the way the last several weeks), I’ve just updated to the latest blog software. Please let me know if you notice any funny business, and I’ll investigate.
Socorro, in addition to being the town where I live, is the Spanish word for “help!” as all my friends in other places know by now.
I’m back in Socorro from my holiday travels and preparing for the new semester, which means, among other things, that I’m digging out from the piles of emails and next-actions waiting for me.
I’m feeling pleased with the Getting Things Done system I got going in December - I have it to thank for the fact I’m only feeling that I have many, many things to do, instead of feeling overwhelmed with the many, many things I have to do.
I expect to have a more active posting schedule soon, with news of networks, probability, music history, conducting, and creativity/art/design - well, lots.
So much to be explored. This is a humble beginning … I’ve installed Movable Type (after only a couple hours of fiddling), which I’m going to try out as a substrate. (edit: now we’re trying out WordPress - less fiddling on this install…)
This is just a placeholder until I get going in earnest…
In the meantime, please visit some interesting alternatives, such as David Weinberger’s well-trodden blog (he is the author of Small Pieces Loosely Joined), an interactive guide to Bartok’s string quartets (an effort to lift us to a level of familiarity with these complex artworks), and, if you are inclined to think about how the web should be heading as far as collaborative tools (and aren’t scared by the open source learning curve), the access grid homepage.
Soon, I’ll explain what these pages and this one have to do with one another.
