I’ve been meaning to tinker with this blog and do something with it. Twitter has permanently suspended my account for violating their rules on promoting illegal behaviors. That was the determination on appeal, so…

Been wanting to get off Twitter for many years now, as it’s a time-suck for me. Fun, and I enjoy meeting people (most of them, anyway), but a time-suck. I’ve toyed with re-starting this blog as a way to make affiliate income promoting products and services I use and like. I’m still going to do that at some point because why not?

For now, I’ve got to blow the dust off here. I haven’t found anything I want to port this to that I really, really like so I’m staying on WordPress. Going to update the theme, fix all the broken stuff in here, that sort of thing.

Will upload the HTML archive of my Tweets over the years because there were some bangers in there. My likes and bookmarks were a personal resource list that’s now gone (I failed to download my bookmarks in time). The Internet is forever when you don’t want it to be; otherwise, the Internet is never permanent. If you don’t know this by now, well, now you do.

Comments will reopen on new posts only. There are a lot of commenters who have scattered over the years and I hope to welcome them back. Reading over old posts made me realize I had a few really nice friends who got lost along the way. If you’re still subscribed to updates, well, hopefully you get this. If not, that’s yet another thing I need to fix around here.

This is an old house, but it’s still standing and it’s still mine.
