10 November 2025: SETTLING IN

Today I've been working on adding to my gopherspace. I've been thinking a 
lot about what categories I want to include, what kind of writing, how 
much or how little personal information to include, and so on. I have 
decided against offering blatant identity labels here: I want this space 
to be as anonymous as possible. The only "label" I have chosen to reveal 
is the country I'm writing from (Scotland, UK). That seems relevant, 
because it provides context for e.g. the spelling I use, which may be of 
interest to anyone reading this. 

Also, the likelihood is that very, very few people *will* ever read this. 
And that's... honestly, quite a relief. It helps get rid of the 
"spotlight" feeling I get when I post on Web 3.0 platforms (even the 
small ones). There are no metrics I can track, nothing I have to 
optimise, or avoid, none of it. This is just a place where I can write, 
knowing that another person *might* happen across it, some day. Like 
leaving a written note tucked inside a library book.

I really should visit the library.
