After just over two years in Textpattern, I’ve moved over the main website to Drupal 6.x. I’ll go into the reasons and the ‘how’ on that site at some point. Things to do include re-implementing the look, and fixing a few links. Note though, that there is no bookmark forwarding – if you go to an old Textpattern URL, chances are you’ll get a 404 error. Sorry about that, but I’m sure you can find the page easily enough. Thanks for your patience.
I know this site is still on hiatus, and brightblack.net looks the same (sorry, not had a lot of time lately), but if anyone wants to see what I’m up to, I’ve aggregated a few things under Friendfeed. Cheers.
I know this site is on hiatus and all, but I do try and keep it maintained whilst it’s up.
I was reading this article on ‘Getting Rich Slowly‘ about some whacky fun-loving malware invading some blogs.
Though I’d updated WordPress a couple of weeks ago, and Akismet today, I thought I’d see what Google thought of this site, as I usually search with Yahoo. According to Google, my site may have some infection, though apparently my latest version wouldn’t have helped.
Anyway, I’ve done most of the suggested actions, and checked the most recent posts and will request Google rescan this site, and should have it resolved shortly. I’ll try, over the next week or two, to scan the SQL dum and see if any other posts have been hit.
Apologies.
Alas once more the word ‘hiatus’ appears on Nanikore. It’s a shame, but it’s life. Last year the blog was on hold for three months, and this may well be the case again, for the same reason. It’s not that weak excuse of ‘life getting in the way’. How the hell can life get in the way? I love my life. That actually seems to be the issue. I have so many things I want to do, and finite time and energy to do them. Right now then, the blog is falling in priority in comparison to these other goals.
So then, another hiatus. During this time I want to take the few minutes I spend thinking and writing on this blog, and transfer them to working to complete a few personal projects – from finishing a few short stories I had ideas for, to actually finishing a full novel length story which is scandalously still in progress.
I don’t have delusions of grandeur, I wont be a published author, even a self published one; that’s not the goal, just finishing it is the goal.
Other than that, I’m thinking of listening to all 3,200+ songs on my iPod from A-Z. Sounds difficult.
Today I finally closed my account with Spinnet, the ISP I’ve been using for over six years. They’re a great company, whoLe but de casino ligne. I still recommend, but as I get my internet access via my apartment building, and all my e-mail, and my websites are hosted by another company, there was little reason to continue to pay 2,100yen a month. I was hoping, with potentially many in my situation, they’d allow for tier-ing of their fees, but alas not. Anyway, if I need a pure ISP in the future, I’ll be sure to sign up with them again.
If you’re still using my Spinnet e-mail (which bizzarely ends with the very legacy ‘@***.att.ne.jp’) then you’ll get bounces. Either use the other one I sent out, or reply via this site with a comment.
FYI – updated the blog to WordPress 2.3, and upgraded MarsEdit to v2.
I’ve just finished what was meant to be a small update to my computer usage over at brightblack. That’s how it started, aiming for a thousand words, but ending well over that – over 3,340 in fact. It’s uploaded here now. I narrowly avoided the Vista rant in there too.
Time flies. I just realised that I’ve been hosted by Pair for four years now. As ever, I really rate them – no real problems and any questions I had were dealt with quickly and professionally. I understand they also now have a ‘lite‘ plan for simple hosting. Check them out with this caveat: I signed up to their referral program.
Just a note that due to my lack of ability to even blog, I’ve been posting mere words in a few places, as friends have been signing up for all manner of things and inviting me. I couldn’t hardly say no, that’d be rude Random places to see bits I’ll forget about by the end of the week include:
hiatus |hīˈātəs| noun ( pl. -tuses ) [usu. in sing. ] a pause or gap in a sequence, series, or process.
It’s pretty obvious, he says with a sigh, that I just don’t seem to have the energy to blog any more with any regularity which would be recogniseable as a ‘blog’. I post a couple of things a month, and more and more I either want to just throw a couple of words up there, or I feel like writing a couple of thousand which then just doesn’t feel like a blog. So what to do?
Well, I’ve decided for a few months I’ll just be posting to brightblack, with slightly larger pages, so in some ways it’ll be a return to my old ways. That said, nanikore isn’t going anywhere, and if I can make the two work again simultaneously, then I will. But for now, head back over to the other site.
