When I last did one of these – sheesh, three months ago – I was writing them to figure out how I wanted to use the blog.

I feel closer to having it sorted out – it’s a good place to do series of posts about the same thought, for example, and post half-formed thoughts that you don’t particularly feel like following up on.

But once I stopped doing these updates, I realised they can fulfil a function other posts won’t. I don’t want to do dedicated posts with publishing updates – social media is better for that, since it’s far more “real time”, and a blog post on those lines would be instantly dated – and I have no place to self-indulgently talk about what I’ve been up to in life.

So that’s going to be the purpose of these going forward.
