What this is all about

Everything here is a continuation of what started at overoften.org.uk over 3 years ago. That original site was an experiment.  A way of learning HTML, of sorting my thoughts, of keeping myself from being idle when I had lots of free time.  It achieved all those things.  What I want to do now is to achieve something more interactive.

Overoften is a nom de net that I also use over at Flickr, at Japundit, and various other sites. In real life, I’m Jon Climpson, an Englishman living in Japan.

    Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose – i’m sure the quality writing + photography will continue on, even if the format has changed.

    All the Best.

    Hi, sir! I’m a new JET who’s arriving in Tamana in August. I just stumbled across your blog, and I imagine we’ll run into each other some time this year.

    Hello. I’ve enjoyed reading your writing. Thank you.

    I am trying to track down a reference in Will Ferguson’s book, Hitching Rides with Buddha, also known as Hokkaido Highway Blues, Hitchhiking Japan, etc. There is a reference in the book to one Paul Berger, who has written a book called “Kumamoto Diary.”

    Trying to do a search for the mysterious Paul Berger has led me to your blogs. Are you related to him? Do you know what book Mr. Ferguson is referring to? Please contact me by email. Thank you!

    Hey Jon, I saw your site on Englishman in Osaka’s blog- I was wondering if we could exchange bloglinks? I have you on my site already- http://www.michaeljohngrist.com- the blog title is Big Red Dot. It’s Japan stuff, haikyo and some humor and observations.

    Cheers,
    Mike.

    Hey, Jon. The picture was from my trip. I live next to Right side of Kumamoto. I liked your blog. I added my blog roll.

    Hi Jon, I’m a recent friend of Barry’s in Kumamoto thanks to our respective parents all living in Ellisfield in the UK. Have to say, love the blog! I’m yet to look at your pics, but photography is a growing passion of mine since I got a dSLR (just ask Barry!) so will look in soon. I’ve got a blog with pics from the last 5 years in Kagoshima, but I’ll be closing it soon and shifting it across to Facebook due to too many freaks ‘n’ weirdos leaving comments. Oh, the perils of the interwebbie! Catch you later….Simon

    Dear Editor,
    in the beginning (a long time ago) we were presented with a very interesting Front Shoji/Door of you in silhouette with pen poised over your homework..then we got a Hockney-esque update..followed by a not-Damien Hirst type cow in a very average paddock – but then things appeared to pickup a bit..cos we got a goldfish in a garden pond!! (for a very,very,very,very..long time).

    Which brings us right up to the present where you seem to have entered a Satori-like dimension commonly known as Nothingness or the Damascene Quadrant..

    Is this it?

    your loyal reader and fan

    Yes, this is pretty much it for the time being, as I’ve got it all roughly into the shape I want. Of course I’ll probably get restless with it at some stage, but for the foreseeable…
