Noesis

This afternoon I eventually managed to send out a Newsletter for Trefeglwys Online. This is a site I've been working on for the past year, and why I'd abandoned much other online activity in favour of getting this finished. Code tinkered with, seven census years transcribed, wills, family trees built, and identification of other material. I owe thanks to a few key people, in supporting me getting the site this far.

The website isn't finished, well it will never be finished, but its not quite up to the presentation standard I would like before shouting about it to wider circles. There's still a lot of blanks, a lot of the content needs rewriting plus a bit more organisation on my part. However, a significant milestone in that I was ready to let 60 people know about this site (and any random person who happens to read this blog), and heading towards the finish line instead of the other way.

Within hours of sending this newsletter, I've put four people in contact with each other, all relatives unaware of the other. That alone has made it worth it. The power of social software, the ability to make connections and to enhance lives. Who says the net has to be a detriment, and make one anti social?
