Short update on this blog March 2020

Seven years ago I started this blog, for two reasons. As a way to practice writing and finding a format to pull together investigations on a topic in some readable story form, and also: as a way to leave 'a message in a bottle' about my own study, hoping maybe I could get answers from interaction with other people via the internet (which did not happen).

Today I have 'unpublished' a number of older posts, as a way of cleanup here, and I don't think they add value (some also were temporary placeholders for essays I never published in PDF form).

I just left a few posts from more than five years ago, as these seem to have attracted some readers.
However as my perspective and insights have moved on from the time when I wrote these (see the title of this blog) .. they are not representative of how I now feel this matter should be approached or brought. These writings were just 'trains of thoughts' along the way of my personal study process. 

The good news is that I am working on a new site, which will be in wiki format. It will be easier to browse and also hopefully more effective to present information and knowledge in a didactic and granular way. Another major difference is that, with the first cycle of seven years study behind me, I feel my insight progressed so that I will be able to present things in a better way.

So I figured maybe I can use this as a real blog then to share shorter reflections, because it allows a 'write once, read many' advantage over personal email communication. 

Note: the main reason I stopped publishing via blogger was because of the erratic behaviour of the site, which apparently and unfortunately remains an issue (sorry can't help that, tried different browsers and dozens of edits to get font size and layout right - to no avail).
