The problem with VagueWare
The problem with VagueWare is actually a problem with me. I have so many ideas, connecting pieces of information, weaving a big picture out of the fragments of thought which either cross my mind when I'm in a reflective mood, or come to me (directly or indirectly) when talking with like minded lunatics. But when I build this big picture it then becomes impossible to translate it back into a form where I can communicate it.
The VagueWare:About experience proved that with a vague idea and a bit of effort two people can come up with something that is not quite so vague. Alas I've got definite ideas which I'd like to explore. So I can't even be vague about them. Every time I start to consider writing something I keep wanting to add bits, to control the overall structure - to make 100% sure nobody misunderstands what it is I'm trying to say.
It's not wasted effort. I'm discovering things about my mental processes. And in doing so I can create mechanisms to help me support my peculiar way of thinking. But then I want to blog my thoughts about my thoughts. Which ironically presents me with exactly the same problem as VagueWare itself.
I'm beginning to think Wiggy is right, I am insane.
