Hello all! This website and its primary author are still alive. I’ve been going through some difficult times at work lately and in my personal life, so I haven’t had the time to produce a proper coherent blog post in a while. Nevertheless, here are a few matter-of-business updates.

WordPress was updated to 6.5 “Regina.” It amazes me how I benefit so greatly from the countless contributors of the open source community. From this website, to the Linux kernel and open source OS I use at home in typing this article for you right in this moment, I can’t even comprehend all that they do to keep everything run fast and secure. I extend a great big hug to all who wish to receive it in open software. Thank you!

I installed my first spam management plugin, the ever-popular Akismet. This is a really low user interaction website, (if anybody reads it at all!) and many of you likely care deeply about your privacy. Ergo, I never want to require logins. I made a free account to filter spam comments for me. I’m only human.

To that end, I provide an updated privacy policy to clarify a few points and to provide stronger assurances that I’m really not interested in your data. This is a personal site. Not a business.

Have a great day!
