I know I haven’t blogged an awful lot recently, but I’m beavering (ooer!) away on my book. I Twitter a lot more than I used to (which is still hardly ever) but I’ve jigged the whole thing up so that anything I add to my FriendFeed goes to Twitter as well—so that covers most of my social bookmarking day-to-day.
So if you really MUST know what I’m reading and researching for the book, follow me!

Fucking hell babe, even the bit on the back has got too many commas. You lovely thing.
OH OH but I really like the stained glass window effect! Dead good!
And where’s my quote: “This book is utter gash” – Lucy Kibble.
Saving that for the second revision :)
..and the commas are fine—bitchlegs!
I think if you’re going to write a book, you should spend the few bucks for an upgrade to a real domain name. :)
Good luck on your writing!

Do you know about how I might keep the site exactly as it is, except move it to another domain? I’ve tried exporting wordpress and importing it to a hosted installation before—but despite saying that everything had worked, non of the images downloaded and a bunch of other things went wrong too.
Looks great!
It’s probably too late to help you out with your project, but here’s a link to my (sadly, longer than paragraph-length) reasons for being an atheist.
Commas, as well as the subordinate clauses they nestle, are the mark of a thinker. Don’t let yourself be dissuaded. Good grammar will save the world.
SarahHeartburn:
I do go overboard with commas sometimes. It is a rhythm of writing thing—but when I read back what I’ve written, from a contextual point of view, too many of them do tend to break things up too much. It’s a finger tap typists habit, rather than the cerebral mechanism you generously credit me for. See, even as I wrote that last line, I I put a comma before you and after mechanism. Unnecessary.
What you are saying in the book is more important than anything and I think you have some important things to say!
