That shadow in the water in the foreground is me. I didn't see a shadow in the moonlight, so I was a bit surprised to see it in the exposure.
Four Years
· By Dave
I have been looking at the trends on my site up to now, and I find it interesting that the blog took four years for me to build an interested audience and less than four months for almost all repeat traffic to stop coming around.
Not that this should in any way be relevant to today. This blog has been dead for well over a year, and I'm just now starting to make an effort to revive it.
Maybe it's the narcissistic side of me, if I have one (I think many of my friends would wonder at me being that self-involved - maybe not), but I think it's time for me to start back into talk on just about everything, and that's what will be starting tomorrow.
In the meantime, since you're gracious enough to be reading this post, I welcome you to Dave's Not Here. Let's see if you and I can make it better than before.

For starters, and by way of getting some traffic, here's some link-whoring goodness:
Two of my favorite aggregation sites while I was working in Iraq, and the most topical for the times/work location, were Milblogging.com and Mudville Gazette. Milblogging.com is a network of bloggers (of which this humble blogger was a part) who blogged all things military. Mudville Gazette is primarily the work of Greyhawk and Mrs. Greyhawk, an Air Force servicemember and his wife who frequently bring together insightful and important linkage for the rest of us to find and read.
Without Greyhawk, I wouldn't have found many of the influential military blogs that I read, quoted, and linked to before Dave's Not Here took a trip down the memory hole.
While I probably will leave much of the milblogging to the professionals, I may take up that mantle from time to time, so keep your boots firmly planted on the ground, and expect that you might read opinion here with which you might find disagreement.
I only ask that you keep your tone civil, and that you be tolerant of the viewpoints of myself and others should you decide to post a comment.
Years ago, while working in Iraq, my friend Wil assisted me with some of the original graphic design and layout of the site. In particular it was his images that graced the "sand dune' theme the site had about 4 years ago. Well, inspired by my blog (yes, I take credit), Wil has gone on and created a blog of his own, which is referenced in another part of my site, in the archives. So go on over to photofacade.com and check him out. He's a great artist.
Now, I'm off to save other parts of the world. This blog should be safe enough while I'm gone.
Please, comment on anything. That's what the "Leave a Note" section is for. Close It |
