I suspended blogging here a few months back in favour of more spasmodic output over at No. 8 Wire<\/a> whilst we emigrated to New Zealand, secured a job, sorted visas and found a house to live in.  Whilst I have never been the most consistent of bloggers, I now intend to resume blogging here as well as continuing elsewhere.  <\/p>\n

This decision is prompted by the fact that I am back on a broadband connection after four months of email and internet access via Bluetooth connection to a 3G smartphone.  Having said that, there’s a lot to be said for regular paychecks, sleeping in the same bed every night and familiar surroundings too.  After at least two minute’s thought, I am pretty sure that I will now split my blogging across the two sites.  <\/p>\n

No.8 Wire<\/strong> was always intended to be a collection of impressions and recollections centered around our experience as migrants in New Zealand.  This being the case, I hope to keep that focus as the core of my writing there whilst broadening it a little to include things of interest to friends and family around the globe.<\/p>\n

bignoseduglyguy<\/strong> will resume where it left off – as a stream of bits and bobs, comments and critiques, fun and philosophy – namely a common or garden blog.<\/p>\n

As for writing elsewhere, I was involved in the London<\/a> launch of the ever-growing Metroblogging<\/a> franchise and still intend to post there occasionally as a ‘foreign correspondent’ though, now I have sorted shelter, food and warmth for the family, I might just have time to work on something else with Sean and the crew<\/a>.  Last but not least, I still hold out a small hope for making time to work on something with my good friends Chuck<\/a>, Jason<\/a> and Roger.  Though we are all more than busy with our various lives, careers and families, I still fondly recall the fun we had writing for Chuck’s most excellent but now-dormant happypalm.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
