Housekeeping

I'm more or less over my initial butthurt at the loss of the blog's associated image album, whether it was because of an ambiguous "glitch" on Google's part or something I did wrong. If it taught me anything, it's that in troubled times, I have community support.

(It also taught me that if you want a sharp spike in incoming traffic even when you're not posting anything new and in fact are wailing about not doing just that, you might try getting YDIS to bemoan your loss of fapworthy images.)

I'm going through the blog archives in the next few days and deleting some old posts that were basically nothing but a title and an image. For posts that actually had some accompanying "content," I'm deleting dead image links, with or without a pasted edit indicating that there used to be pictures there but, you know. I'm also cleaning out some of the superfluous personal posts, so the next time I flake out I can act like it's the first time it's happened and we can all pretend no one remembers otherwise.

I can say with certainty that I'm not fucking around with G+ again for a while. Even the densest hilljack will, after being burned once by the bug zapper, thereafter exercise some degree of circumspection in reaching towards it again, even if there's a really big moth just flapping and sizzling away on there.

Thank you for your patience.

  1. Glad you're recovering from your loss. I've heard plausible rumblings that Picasa and blogger.com will both be rolled into G+ as Google Photos and Google Blogs. I suspect it's already happening on the back end, and that you got bit by the G+ account deletion interface failing to reflect those changes.

    If not for the fact that blogger.com is the de facto standard for the OSR, I probably would have started by blog on Wordpress or (more likely) Tumblr.

  2. I'm not super worried about OSR standards and I've been considering the same thing.

  3. By the way, when you name your blog "Huge ruined pile" you are pretty much daring the universe to send calamity your way at some point...

  4. A buncha guys who've been waiting 30 years to see what's in the -rest- of Castle Greyhawk can probably wait a few weeks for HRP to be up and optimally impressive again.
