Inertia
I’ll happily admit I fell off the wagon. I had help, though. No, it wasn’t particularly my choice to have Paris Hilton spread-eagled on my front page for over a year, nor have a sarcastic post — robbed now of context — make it seem at a glance that I’m a follower of Rush Limbaugh. The first tragedy was the swoon and expiration of my poor web server, followed by endless fretting about where to take my hosting needs, capped by a poor decision to go cheap. Also saw a desire to return to self-hosting thwarted by said cheap solution refusing to run Movable Type without crashing, and great palpitations of ennui at the thought of moving my templates over to WordPress or some other suitor. All this just before running into a giant brick wall of “surprise, it’s life calling.”
Well, I’m still alive here. Seems only like common courtesy to let you all know. Do people still stroll the streets around here? Is it sunny where you are?
