Prelude

Hi all,

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve actually been reasonably active on the Ultra Fractal list recently. My mood is slightly elevated. So far that’s good for the most part: I’m off the antidepressants (though withdrawal is causing problems of its own), I’ve started walking again, and eating more healthily, and getting enthusiastic about things (at the moment it’s my new discovery: single malt Scotch whisky). The downsides are some insomnia and impulse buying (those single malts).

I’m thinking about starting a blog. It’s something that’s crossed my mind before; this time I might actually go through with it. It would be a personal blog (though not of the “what I did today” variety), and I’d cover topics such as fractal art, whisky and mental illness. There may be a few people interested in what I have to say on fractal art, so I guess I might have some initial readers. I’ve signed up with WordPress, and I’ve been playing in the dashboard. The hard part is getting started: writing a first post.

So anyway, my mood is about optimal now, but I have to monitor it carefully. Hopefully the mood stabilizers will stop me from slipping into full blown mania, but if you see me becoming grandiose feel free to let me know. :-)

Mark
