Entering Low Posting Period
Posted on September 18, 2008 Posted by John Scalzi 6 Comments
Starting tomorrow through probably the rest of September, we’ll be entering a low posting period here at Whatever. This is due to me traveling on business the next few days, and then teaching for a week at the Viable Paradise. So all the time that I’m usually spending staring dully into a computer screen I’m going to spend talking to actual humans instead! Go me. It also means my focus will be elsewhere than this site. The “Whatever X” series will continue (I’ll be preloading the rest of those today), and Internet access permitting I’ll post other stuff, although, you know, don’t expect long, involved posts (note: around here, that’s usually a sign I’ll write War & Peace-sized posts in the time I usually use to sleep). Basically, if you don’t see a lot here, don’t assume I’m trapped with my head in a cereal box and/or clinically depressed or anything. I’m just away.
Oh noes!
how ever will we entertain ourselves now?!?
Have fun out there in the real world!

Yeah right. You’re just trying to distract me from getting the prize inside again. I know you.

Of course not – it’s in a Coke Zero box – oh, wait, Zeus cat took that, didn’t he…

I think a lot of your more philosophical posts tend to happen during these haituses. Which is a bonus because what diminishes in posting content is exponentially returned in comments from readers.
Please do what you can to help make sure Teresa Nielsen Hayden takes care of herself while she’s there.
Why is it when you announce a slow down in the number of Whatever posts the actual rate of Whatever posting immediately doubles?
It just don’t add up!
