My life in words and images; a work in progress.

I Just Don't Know...

Systems Adminstrator's Blogs Are Boring.

This one, I'm sure, is no exception. Posts are often written at the end of a long working day; I'm frequently confused, drunk and alone.

Or am I?

Weird email received; is this you?

I've been forced to move my pointless website to a VPS somewhere in Russia, because a stupid manager was worried that another stupid manager might read it. Quite an overreaction, since the logs indicate the only regular visitor is the Googlebot. I diligently modified the updates section on my page to say "Goodbye Manchester".

A couple of days later I was both surprised and gratified to get an email from somebody asking where I'd moved to. A mystery reader! And one who cares!

Whoever you are, I got a bounce when I tried to reply to you. I've corrected the updates section. This website may have moved, but I'm still in the same place.

Greetings from the Burble Bin.

It's not much to look at, but it seems to do the job.

Or does it?

Here lies the archive of my mind.

I began this blog several years ago.

Isolated from social media due to a complex entanglement of real and imaginary threats to my person, my career and my pet cat, I needed a repository for my thoughts. What I'd forgotten is that I rarely have any worth writing down.

In these times of austerity, I'm very lucky to have a rolling contract with XenoPsyche, Inc. It's up for renewal in 2016, and I'm pretty sure they're not happy with my work. I must tell the world what I've learned, and this blog seemed best the way to do that.

Sadly, it's fallen into disuse. Nobody reads it, and I hardly ever update it.

Or do I?

Commercials!
