As I get older, and I'm doing it even as I write these simple missives, (those first 15 words were written by a younger me, I now have more experience than that foolish pre-15 word youthful version) it seems I get busier. Or to be exact it seems like the stack and list of things I haven't gotten done yet gets longer. Now I'm not talking about a bucket-list, I'm just talking about the everyday crap that comes up and it is a good idea to do stuff, the that can be put off until, stuff. The good intentions stuff. The unnoticed foundation stuff. The stuff.
Well my blogs take about 45 minutes out of each day on an average, some shorter, some longer, some.. Well as you are making me painfully aware my readers (and you know who you are) I have missed a few installments of the banality barrage that is my coexistence. 49 since my last post for you bean counters (presupposing that you labeled each day not blogged in my own uniquely chuckpace.com way as a bean, which is a stretch, possibly like a... hmm, a seed pod, but I digress) which is 36 hours and 45 minutes of not sitting in front of the computer before going in to work, or watching the game or, well usually not hitting the snooze button again.
To put it another way: I pay the hosting site service $11.00 per month to have a place to house my ranting and remarking and remembering. If I use the blog as a means of storing my ideas on a daily basis the cost is only 37 cents a day. By missing a staggering 49 days since the Big Gas Hole (now healed and resuming its previous occupation as a surface for driving and parking) I have made this post cost $18.50 ($ 8:13 in arrears + today's .37) so obviously with the tightening economy it is actually more fiscally responsible for me to post more frequently. I shall do my part to trim the waste out of my blogging expense and provide a more responsible disgorging of discourse.
Furthermore, if I manage a few posts today I can take that cost to product deficiency ratio down considerably. Two posts just $9.25 each, three, just under $6.17 each. There I have addressed the kernel computing crowd, the embryonic plant enumerators , the ripe ovule relegaters, or simply put, the bean counters.
