The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

And the wheel turns anew

McGehee's had it:

I’m in no mood for this. I’m getting no help from pMachine nor from Verve, and so far the only commenters who have even noticed anything is up are the ones named in the original content of this post. They’re not the ones I need to hear from if I’m going to prevent a recurrence of this issue. As little feedback as I’ve been getting these last few months, allowing comments seems to have become superfluous anyway, but that also suggests this blog is superfluous.

Actually, I think he pulled more comments than I did, but admittedly this isn't saying a great deal.

Meanwhile, Diane is experimenting with Movable Type:

Please bear with me while I get acclimated. Who knows — I might be back to [WordPress] tomorrow if I can't get everything I want figured out....

My own near-blog-death experience comes to mind about now.

But only briefly, because I don't want to think about that any longer than I have to.

Ahhhhhhhhh- how painful is that? The first thing I did before I started messing around with MT was back up the database. I only started blogging though in May of 2005 but I couldn't get MT to restore all my WP posts. I'm thinking it's a matter of size- MT must be female. heh

In the sense that it is sometimes a major bitch, I'd have to agree. :)

I really don't think so.

YKY has had its moments, but in the last few months I've been alternating between complete burnout and incomplete burnout, and the flow of feedback has had a lot to do with which.

Still, if all I'm doing over there is talking to myself anyway, I guess I might as well do so loudly and in living color. We'll see how it goes.

You know, blogstuff has become so painful to deal with I'm thinking of moving back to Blogspot.

I have dark thoughts sometimes.

Well, I can't go back where I came: it's gone.

I can shuffle domains until the cows come home, but that leaves me with the same old issues. And cows.

Ah yes. Give me a home where the buffalo roam, and I'll give you a dirty house.
