For the uninitiated, web syndication in this context refers to the retrieval of my posts via the RSS feeds you see. If you don’t exactly know what is it still (you should have a rough idea at least), you ought to go and learn more about modern web technologies. In brief, web feeds allow you to download news articles; blog posts; site updates etc. into a feed reader, like Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, Google Feed Reader or the like. And it just gives you the pure content, nothing else. No distractions from flashy ads and screwed-up page layouts (usually). Thus in one solution you get your articles stored and sorted out according to their origin site (instead of newsletters which you must manually sort into mail folders); email privacy and ease of management and distraction-free reading.

To all who understood that, or the rest who already know what I’m talking about, or use it even (on my blog or not), this lamentation’s dedicated to you.

Some changes, mostly technical, but one key change.

For purposes of consistency, I have migrated The Staccato Slur from ajanimgo.com to staccatoslur.com. The old domain name will still continue to exist, but henceforth redirect visitors to the new domain while people get used to the change.  All other related web presences e.g. email address, have been adapted to the new domain as well.

In short, reach The Staccato Slur at http://staccatoslur.com from now on. Shouldn’t mispell it if you can pronounce it.

I haven’t written here for ages. I blame my job now as a conscript soldier for the lack of time. It is the lack of enough time to stare at the screen and type, like seriously.

I have just finished up on the final touches of decorating my laptop – now it really looks like it should belong to me.
