Nope, I haven't died.
The original posts and comments as best as I can tell survived the migration and combining of multiple
servers. Unfortunately the extremely modified version of Wordpress that I was using didn't. Yes, I have backups but in the
two years I was mostly absent there have been changes which would make it necessary for me to go back through and update my
code. Rather than do that and continue to patch a custom branch of WP code, I've decided to use my own (greatly simplified) blog system.
I've already begun the process which I plan to use (someday) here. The next logical progression would be bringing back the archived
posts and (hopefully) restored to their original URLs. This doesn't help the many broken URLs out there in the meantime, but at
least it's an explanation for where things are at with this site and why it's been in this state for so long.
When it's meant to return, it will
Thank you for stopping by and caring,
