I decided to go cold turkey on micro-blogging. I’ve had a Twitter account since November 2006 and at some point owned 12 different accounts. I stopped last month. I don’t know for how long but I’ve gone back to ‘big writing’, ie. working on the second edition of Smarter Homes which I owe myself (and my publisher Apress). Sometimes, you just have to spend your January nights writing about 1920s kitchen designs. I’m sure I’ll go back to writing about my perimenopause, doing long threads about niche architecture and sharing the jazz music I discover on Bluesky but for now, I am enjoying not doing that at all.
