So, I haven’t posted in nearly two months. I’ve missed 3 of my intended post-times.
See, here’s the problem I’m having. When I get home, I play computer games with my son, then frequently spend the rest of the evening trying not to move too rapidly a my daughter sleeps on my back. I haven’t been having the time to play with fun things lately at home. Heck, I only manage to do the dishes a couple times a week (and we really have enough to do it every day and a half)
At the same time, I decided early this year that I wasn’t going to post about the stuff I’m doing at work. First, there’s all the various clauses about what we can or can’t say and how we can or can’t represent our selves, our companies, clients, allies, and bitter enemies. And a lot of what I’m doing right now is very specialized bits of stuff. It’s also quite cool.
But, if someone went looking, it would be trivial to link my work to this blog. Not that I work that hard to hide my name, but if I start talking about all the widgets and sprockets and cogs, it becomes a blog about work. And that’s where the problem comes in 
So, for now, I’m again going to put this blog in deep-freeze. Add it to your google reader or feed subscriptions, and then when it comes back you’ll know about it.
Originally this blog started as a place to talk about the seriously geek stuff I wanted to discuss on my main blog, but that none of the people I knew would really be interested in. It was more for me to have someplace to talk. Then I decided I was interested in explaining and tracing crypto. A kind of how-to primer. B/c I can’t be the only kid who found that kind of thing interesting 
But when I got to DES … well, that stalled the blog the first time. And the second time. So I broadened it out. Time constraints mostly killed it that time. And time again now. I have a bunch of interesting stuff I’d like to post, but I don’t know when I could make it live anyway, so it hardly seems worthwhile.
And it’s not like I post on my personal blog either, so, maybe I’m just past the blogging phenomenon and i’m “old” now … So maybe deadbeef will come back in a new form. Not sure what that would be, but since it still requires that I have time to do it … could be some time
