As a quick aside, why are good habits easier to break than bad ones?  Shouldn’t the nature of “habit” make breakability equal regardless of the nature of the habitual behavior?  Guess not.

So anyway, as you can see, I’m a little active today.  I haven’t opened RSSBandit since probably November of last year.  My blogging has been sporadic.  I’ve done no extra coding outside of work.  I’ve done nothing really except work and play video games outside of my social life (which is improving, with the introduction of a new girlfriend).

I just read this entry by Jason Haley (who is as usual doing his part to get me up to speed with his awesome blog) and he mentions something that I’ve been feeling lately.  Since I haven’t been blogging or reading blogs, or working on any side projects, for a good 6 months, I have felt disconnected, and all around demotivated.  Getting involved in the .net blogging community has done wonders for me as a developer, helped keep me creative, keep me thinking, keep me on the cutting edge (or at least aware of it).  Lately though, I’ve just felt…blah.

So I’m making an effort to get back into the good habit of reading and writing blogs, and doing what I love, which is writing code that is interesting to me.  Now that the big software project is released and in maintenance mode, I feel like I can get back into the swing of things and reengage with my programming passions, which will ultimately of course lead to a “that-much-better” V2.

If anyone even still subscribes to this thing, silence broken.  If not, well, just putting thought to blogjet is enough sometimes to keep the neurons firing.
