Been struggling here of late. Forty hours per week of what passes for daylight in London working at a Buddhist practice and meeting center, plus setting up life here with a newish partner, keeping up with emails, and generally having a look around a new town leaves precious little time to do all the things I used to do as a full-time occupation. I’m bursting with ideas about what ought to happen next on several fronts here and there’s just not the bandwidth in the brain or the clock just now to do them as fast as I’m thinking them up.
Last night, another big chunk of everything came clear. PeaSoup is the result. It’s the first in a long list of moves I’ll make here in the coming days (god i hope it’s not weeks!). New clarity about how GlobalChicago, MichaelHermanAssociates, OpenSpaceTech, and SmallChangeNewsNetwork play together. For now, I think of these as the leading characters in what I hope will be a clearer story unfolding here, as PeaSoup.
Which is to say that PeaSoup is one of those ideas that pops up and seems absolutely brilliant while peering into the darkness of the wee hours… and after a few days in the light of pixels might turn out to be so much more rubbish. We’ll see. It’s clouding here in London today, so for now, this new idea is safe from brightest light and scrutiny. And I’m off to clean up after yesterday’s Christmas party. Wish I had a good pea soup color code for the background here.
#669966 is peasoupier to me. The color you have is seafoamy.
Also on the new main page, it may help to let people know pea soup is the old blog. I had to look around for it for awhile.
Joyful yuletide!
Happy birthday, PeaSoup!
Bloglines still doesn’t have it right. The title that I see is: Been struggling here of late. Forty hours per wee … and it links to http://www.globalchicago.net/wiki/wiki.cgi?GlobalChicagoGarden which is of course your first link in the post. Your actual title Pea Soup: Clarity and Flow and the permalink don’t show up at all.
New design looks great…
Take your pick of colours from here:

thanks chris. been playing there at visibone, chris. some others too. something just shy of real satisfaction with available colors.
and ted, i’m totally stumped by this one. i’ll keep poking around in the code. thanks for keeping an eye on that one. i’ll let you know when i think i’ve got it.
thanks, schuy. doesn’t look that way on my machine… using a different machine than i did last night… i think… worked most of the night rearranging the digital furniture. made the change for now. am working toward easier navigation, too. it’s a tangled web for sure. happy merry!
You can always find the perfect color make it a 10×10 pixel jpg and put it in as your background image. That’s the best “perfect color” trick. Heck you could take a picture of pea soup and crop out a little piece of it and use that!
Happy Boxing Day.
