I don't know how many blogs I have, but it's quite a few. I had the idea of separating my interests, so as not to burden friends with technical stuff; and not to burden a technical blog with pictures of my cats (even though photography is a technical endeavor). Seemed like a good idea at the time...
Unfortunately, I have many interests on different, often apparently incompatible topics. My blogs proliferated like Fibonacci's bunnies. Being an ordinary mortal, my interests wax and wane. I jump from blog to blog depending on my current passion, meaning no blog gets updated consistently. Presently I am obsessed with the Riemann Zeta Function, prime numbers in general, Linux, developing an anti-spam program, and on and on and on.
So while I'm chasing down one topic and waxing enthusiastic over it, my other blogs languish from inattention. People who were reading them (both people) find the blogs being ignored for weeks, even months. Eventually they give up and stop looking. Even I forget about the blogs. There are several I've started, where I can no longer remember the name.
The alternative isn't much better, if at all. I *could* just put it all on a single, general-purpose blog, but if I do that then people who just want to look at my kitty pictures will have to wade through endless discussions about numbers or Linux or the Desert Fathers. Those looking for information about primes wind up having to view endless pictures of my cats. It's got to be very frustrating for everyone - but at least I could keep track of one blog.
So maybe here is where I'll just post everything, without regard for topic. Kind of like a scrapbook, or maybe a junk drawer.
