This isn’t the interesting, focussed blog you might have been looking for…

"Pica Pica" has replaced my old blog at google, but without the dharma related material, which has gone to the chagchen site under the DangZang title, and without the translation material, which is now at my work site.

Oh yes, it's by Alex Wilding

    Yes, things have been very slow here. I’ve been preparing to move across the world again, and the move is now due to happen in the next few days. I should resurface in the “land of the moon”, Lunigiana, the northern tip of Tuscany, in one or two weeks time, and I hope that things will […]
  • Is Buddhism changing, and is that a corruption?
    Recently I was asked: Do you think that Tibetan Buddhism (and Buddhism) have been corrupted by Western influences? It seems like most Westerners interpret, or want to interpret, Buddhism as a religion with a much more social-activist and political bent. This is probably partly because most Westerners are pretty ignorant of Buddhism. However, as Westerner [.. […]

Connected to the net

Mainly for business reasons I’ve been getting connected. Not only have I got several e-mail addresses, but what else do I have now?

At Facebook I’m alexwilding there are mainly using that in a more personal way.

At twitter I’m wildingtranslat – they won’t let you use any more letters.

Then there is Linkedin, where I’m alex-wilding, and where I’m saying a huge number of messages that are of no interest.

I’m registered at ProZ (a translation site) simply as Alex Wilding, and at Aquarius as Wilding Translation.

And then there is translatorscafe, where again I simply seem to be Alex Wilding.

I have a strong suspicion that some of this activity will have to drop of quite soon, when I see what’s worth it and what isn’t.

Exhausting, isn’t it, just being connected in the modern world?

New-look site

I’ve not only been splitting the old blog into these two new ones, but also seriously refreshing my work site. I’m impressed, both by WordPress in general (they have prepared some really good documentation) but also by the highly customizable Atahualpa theme I’ve used there as well as for the blogs.
