It's very sad but true. I have become embarrassingly dreadful recently - I've been reading everything and anything.<p>My last day job; I refused to doss about on the web. And as a webdev never suffered - if we had connectivity issues. Other's looked stranded.<p>I also was pretty diligent in using books. I absorb so much more reading from paper. I also find the quality of information online to be weaker than print and lower than the past. There is a lot of uneducated opinion, repeated ideas; and it makes finding information more arduous too.<p>It's strange how the non-multitasking disconnected days of old used to feel better. I'd download usegroup messages and read in a burst, then do something else. I'd also sit back reflect and fine tune a reply.<p>When the web cost me more - dialup - I was far more discerning.<p>It's really a case of poor time management and prioritisation. The web can be a distraction; it's easy to lose hours. This is actually a good wake up call.
