Announcement: El Viajero splits in two: now scholar @ jklmelton

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

After finishing Dispatches from Blogistan, I have decided to split El Viajero into two blogs. Clearly, the eclectic choices of topics in the original blog were more than distracting.

El Viajero will stay focused as a sort of online diary of daily life; living, working, and playing well; and other topics in that broad area.

This spin-off blog, tentatively named scholar @ jklmelton, will stick to the more academic, productivity, and technology topics that I find interesting.

I spent most of last night creating scholar and moving relevant posts here. I have left all the original dates and titles of El Viajero for historical (some might say hysterical) reference. However, that relocated content can no longer be read at El Viajero; I spent this morning adding updated links to each post. I hope this does not cause many problems. Rather, I hope this move will allow both of my fans to enjoy more focused content. ;-)

This should be the only post I need to make on the move. I will post a similar message at El Viajero; please excuse the redundancy. A la obra…

A Couple of Apologies

Monday, February 12th, 2007

I have to say that I’ve been pretty bad at keeping up with the blogging. Sorry about that. Content is king, as they say, and I have not set my mind to the task of taking notes or keeping track of interesting ideas. Here is my pledge: I will be a better blogger starting now.

Second apology: even though it is a small thing on the blog settings, I did not set the configuration to allow new people to sign up themselves. Sorry about that. You still need to register to add a comment (I will not change this after seeing the comment spam that is out there), and I will need to approve the first few comments, just to make sure. If any comments come in, I will evaluate the system settings and take it from there.

Here starts a new blog

Friday, February 4th, 2005

Hello:

This is the first item for our new blog, El Viajero, the Traveler. I hope to be posting news and stories about what we’re doing here. Give us some time to get things going.

Till next time…

[Editor's note (February 24, 2008): This blog was started on the 4th of March, 2005 with no particular focus. It recently came to my attention that it is much better for readers to have themes that are a bit more focused. This blog is to be the research branch.]
