‘Gadzooks!’ indeed

Introducing cusack.norumbega.co.uk, my new blog over at Norumbega. One of the inherent problems I always faced with andrewcusack.com was that once I had a nice, handsome post up top, I rarely wanted to disturb it with any further posts. This was especially so if I had just a very brief blog post in mind, given that once a post is made it has sometimes been weeks before I can make another one.

Part of the thinking behind Norumbega is that I will have the fortnightly features section for the somewhat swankier blog posts with my own side-blog for little things that can be updated whensoever I feel the need. So does this mean that andrewcusack.com — Banned by the Scottish Executive! Tori Truett’s lunchtime reading! Repository of miscellaneous arcana! — is like to die? Nay, good Sir. It is still here and so it shall remain. Some of the longer articles will be improved and then regurgitated over at Norumbega; everything that is here shall remain here. It’s a bit like the Lord Great Chamberlain… I’m not entirely sure what function it will serve but I have no doubt it should not be gotten rid of.

Perhaps now would be the appropriate time to thank certain people.

Firstly, Alex Singleton, founder of the Globalisation Institute, who first thought up the idea of yours truly having a proper blog and obtained andrewcusack.com for me when my technical expertise in that department was nil.

Secondly, Col. & Mrs. Matthew G. Cusack. My aunt and uncle were kind enough to pay for two whole years of this site while I was but a poor, penniless student in Scotland. I am grateful to them for much more than I can ever possible enunciate, but I thought this was at least one thing that I could mention specifically.

And I hope you are grateful to them as well!

No, Mr Cusack, you must not even consider allowing this most beautifully presented and superbly sensible blog to become dormant, or even merely sporadic. Keep it going, at least for your more conservative admirers who would find it difficult to find their way to some new-fangled site without (yet) a settled personality. We don’t like change, even, perhaps particularly, when it presents itself as an improvement.

It’s superb that you have Norumbega up again and off to the races. Timely topics catch the eye and bolster the spirit. Bravo, Andrew.

I have now accidentally deleted two different comments that were left on this post, for which I offer my most heartfelt apologies.

In the zeal to get rid of spam, legitimate comments are often caught up in the deletion, which is a continual source of irritation.

It serves very well as an aggregation of topics and interests before limited to several separate sites. Though I may lament your lessened activity here, Norumbega more than makes up for it. The layout is cool, too.
