24 Sep 2023 - Things about me and whatever else

Somebody I’ve been tossing emails back and forth with wrote me this morning to ask if I’ll ever port posts from the old website to this one. To be perfectly honest, I don’t know. Most of what I wrote back then wasn’t ever of the best quality, and reading snippets of my prose makes my entire body cringe and recoil in disgust.

Beyond that, there’s the fact that I hard-coded every damn page on that website. It’s not as simple as copy-pasting all the text and being done with it. Preserving links among the hierarchy of the new site will take some work, and I’m not entirely sure I want to go through the process to bring back something I can’t even bear to read.

Everything from the tumblr AND the old site is preserved, I can assure you of that. It’s all on a thumb drive that’s being used to prop open the CD drive on my computer, so it’s not entirely worthless.

But the answer in the end is yes and no. I will recode SOME pages. Ballad will be redone in markdown for sure. Other pages where I’m rambling and ranting like I’m doing right now will probably rot on the thumb drive for eternity. There’s the short answer for you.

Anyways, Alice in Chains. I’m gonna go back to listening to them.
