On seeing less of us
"By the way," Justin notes in a comment, "since the advent of "Razor" we see much less of you here. Is that a long term time and priority thing, or just something temporary?"
We've been thinking quite a bit about that, as a matter of fact. It's surprising how writing two blogs is ever so much more demanding than writing one. Aside from the effort of posting, housekeeping on the Razor blog is much more time-consuming. Each post has to be made separately on The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald sites, because of some problems with the copying software that unfortunately obliterate all comments. And approving the comments and answering them is also demanding.
But one of the reasons we've been posting less than usual over the past week or so is the fact that we've been having a bit of a break in Tathra, while finishing off some freelance assignments that we had to take on in order to fight off bankruptcy.
We're driving back tomorrow (which means we probably won't have the time to post), but after that, things should start getting back to normal.
We still haven't worked out a natural separation between what we write in Razor, and what we write here. Although we can demonstrate our political views here. And be a little less polite.

I like the two blogs as that way I can post comments on both and with the eflux of time see if there are regional differences.

Are you softening us up for the demise of bleeding edge? Hope not CW
In the end it comes down to your workload and your paypacket cw however I feel this site provides a far greater coverage than razor.

Definitely not, Steven! I'm far too fond of Bleeding Edge. I was just thinking out loud about the fact that I haven't yet found a logical way to separate the sort of stuff I write here, and what I write for Razor. And yet, funnily enough, I know the separate identities are beginning to evolve.
For one thing, I'm using "I" more often than not over there. Bleeding Edge is more of a "we". And Bleeding Edge is a definite community that's reflected in the commentary. Razor hasn't got there yet.
What's interesting is that you think there's greater coverage here than on Razor. Care to expand on that?

CW,
The greater coverage may be that this site has the forum and I think that this is a splendid service provided by your blog and the good people who give of their time and in particular their computer knowledge to us newbies.

Seems to me you get nicer comments here.
