…or whatever the writing equivalent of silence is. I’ve just been really busy and ill. I’ve got a kind of semi-new job - basically my old job plus some extra bits - which has radically cut back the amount of time I can devote to filling the internet with nonsense and doing any productive work (I’ve had my current (potentially quite excellent) project open all day and haven’t written so much as a semi-colon).

Also as I was saying to Neil the other night, Facebook is kind of killing the rest of the web for me, soaking up its nutrients (people’s attention) like a kind of cultural Japanese bindweed. So I’ve been inclined to spend less time online. Also my massive backlog of email and rss feeds is kind of off-putting.
