New tumblr user

Two weeks ago [NPR did a story on tumblr][1]. It piqued my interest, as it sounded like a cross between a blog and Facebook. Also the tumblr terms of service were attractive. So I decided to give it a try, and I started the [SonicChicken tumblog][]. So far I’ve mostly been using it for short sysadmin posts, and I’ve already seen some benefits — I had to [requeue some email messages][2], and a few days later I had to do it again. A quick copy-paste out of my tumblog and I was done. Win!

About Jim Vanderveen

I'm a bit of a Renaissance man, with far too many hobbies for my free time! But more important than any hobby is my family. My proudest accomplishment has been raising some great kids! And somehow convincing my wife to put up with me since 1988. ;)
