<p>After three months of blogging, I thought it was time to pause and assess this site.Â  This has pretty much been a play-it-by-ear endeavor.Â  Since I had not planned on having a blog (see new page &#8211; &#8220;<strong><em><a title="A Little About This Blog" href="https://www.mitzenmacher.net/blog/?page_id=185" target="_blank">A Little About This Blog</a></em></strong>&#8220;), it stands to reason that I also did not have a clue as to what direction this blog shouldÂ take.Â  I still don&#8217;t.Â  But no matter, I&#8217;ll press on anyway.Â  I have decided to make a few minor changes.</p>
<p>First, I have eliminated the category &#8220;Media Center Ramblins&#8221;.Â  I still like Windows XP Media Center, and I still use it daily.Â  But now that Microsoft has decided to incorporate the Media Center functionality into the upcoming Vista OS, I don&#8217;t think I will have too much to be saying about it in the future.Â  If I do, it will be included in &#8220;Computer Ramblins&#8221;.</p>
<p>Second, I will be increasingÂ the frequency of posts in the &#8220;Photography Ramblins&#8221; category.Â  Having had dozens of cameras over the years, and photographic images numbering in the thousands (bothÂ terrestrial and underwater), I think that I can find something to say on the subject.</p>
<p>Third,Â I have included a new category entitled &#8220;Flashbacks in Time&#8221;.Â  Included in this category will be those things that I might have included in a blog 10, 20, or 30 years ago, had the technology existed at that time.</p>
<p>The fourth, and most significant change is the addition of a new feature, which I shall call &#8220;Flashback Fridays&#8221;.Â  Friday will beÂ the designatedÂ day that I post items into the &#8220;Flashbacks in Time&#8221; category.Â  These posts willÂ draw onÂ my photographic collection, and will undoubtedly be quite varied in nature.</p>
<p><span class="gensumtitle">Considering my expectation was that I would be the only person reading my words and looking at my pictures, I am pleased to see that my web host reports the following:</span></p>
<p><span class="gensumtitle" /><span class="gensumtitle"><strong>Average successful requests per day:</strong></span> 2,660<br />
Now if only I knew what that statistic means!</p>
