So I decided to let the ossuary.org domain lapse and move in with the wife at martinitime.org. I didn’t really use the domain for much apart from hosting a weblog I don’t write in much and for the spam trap that my email address had become. Really no point in paying the hosting fee anymore.

I don’t know why I continue to use Windows. Every single god damned thing feels like pushing a giant rock up a hill. I’ll admit that the fact that I’ve been doing most of my work on Linux for the past twenty years inclines me to use the linux idiom for getting things done and[…]
