March 2026 - 22nd Blog Anniversary!
And my first on Ghost!
March 31st means it is blog’iversary time. Twenty-two years since that first tentative post and the first on my new Ghost host, a move forced when TypePad shut down last September.
I really appreciate the connections blogging, and more recently Mastodon, Bluesky, Substack, Discord, & Facebook, has enabled. While the other platforms have taken over much of the day-to-day activity, I still prefer having content I really value, want to retain, on my ‘own’ platform.
The worth of that was apparent this year with the move to the new platform. Although not painless, there was some remedial work, at least I could find a new home for decades of content.
I've chosen to repair broken content as I encounter it but merging the two TypePad blogs (CAD and Personal) and removing posts that were just a short 'Look at the other blog' references meant revisiting posts about things I had entirely forgotten ever happened like...

To everyone, everywhere, thanks for visiting, reading, and subscribing both here and the other platforms.
Stats for me...
