Why?
As you can probably tell, I’ve deleted the somewhat-new WordPress weblog and all my hand coded entries. As Neil asked over SMS, Why?
My response? Because I can. It’s only words I’m erasing, and I’m not so foolish as to delete without archiving a copy first. I’ll probably post a few past entries now and again if I’m in the mood.
I’m not sure what precipitated this move. I think it was exasperation as I tried to upgrade my version of WordPress, with things not working and my not knowing why (now I know why, but I really can’t be arsed any more). I then started thinking that my website directory is a mess. Too many sections. Too many photos all over the bloody shop.
Some of my posts this past year have told you that I’m feeling frustrated and generally pissed off at my situation in Xiamen. Consider this my acting out. As Neil says, it’s a shame I’ve deleted so much (all posts saved, but comments since the migration to WordPress are gone), but seriously, who gives a fuck?
So there you go. All new now.
Maybe I’m being stupid by getting rid of so much history (by Internet standards). I probably am. This sort of action could herald the end, or it might not. We’ll see.
It’s only a weblog, after all.

YIKES!
I guess. As I was saying to Neil last night, the file structure was a mess. Too many stagnant sections. It needed a re-work, and what better way than to start afresh? Like I said, I still have all my old posts, so it’s no big deal.
Neil said he’d think it was weird if I stopped having a website altogether (I asked), because I’ve had this weblog longer than we’ve known each other.
Your site is the most fun and clever while being the least ego centric. Do what you want with it. Every little change or deletion is that much greater. I’m facinated with your pros and the way you look. I want to see more pictures of you. Your running. You in your apartment. You and Neil together. I’m now facinated with how little you take youself serious. It works on so many levels.
Nothing ever really dies or is deleted on the net. It’s backed up with Google Cache, or Archive.org
