Cooler and overcast in Houston today?\u00a0 Maybe.\u00a0 I got yesterday wrong at the lake, as it was overcast for at least the morning.\u00a0 Houston was partly sunny, with rain in the distant south.\u00a0\u00a0 None at the house or while I was driving around.<\/p>\n
And that’s mostly what I did yesterday, drove around.\u00a0\u00a0 Got home, planted myself in front of the panopticon and bathed in the flow from the fat pipe… or plopped down in front of multiple screens and surfed all my normal blogs ’til I was caught up.<\/p>\n
I did spend some time cleaning up my ‘family’ blog.\u00a0\u00a0 We started it for hurricane comms to our families but most of that happens directly or through fakebook now.\u00a0 We haven’t even done a ‘hi there’ post on it in years.\u00a0\u00a0 But\u00a0 there are some good memories in the comments and posts, so we leave it up.\u00a0 Unfortunately, askismet ran out, the comment spammers found the site, and I never closed comments on old posts.\u00a0 So my inbox has been filling up with ‘someone posted a comment on your blog’ notices, and ‘please moderate this comment’ notices from WordPress.\u00a0 I ended up deleting over 5000 spam comments and locking comments on all the posts.\u00a0 Tedious, took a while, but not hard.\u00a0 I should probably take it down, there is way to much personal info there, and I could save the hosting fees, but some of the comments are from people who have since died, and it doesn’t feel right.\u00a0 For now, it’s up, but frozen.<\/p>\n
No shoeboxes full of old photos for this generation.\u00a0\u00a0 Just bitrot, and ghost sites.\u00a0 Maybe someone in the future will collect old thumbdrives, harddrives, and CDs like people now collect old photos, diaries, and other ephemera.\u00a0 I can almost imagine a gallery show (virtual of course) “Curated photos from before The Fall, a collection of dinner entre’s from the early 2020s”\u00a0 and the adjunct gallery “Desserts commonly available in “restaurants” during pre-Fall times…”<\/p>\n
Today I’ve got my local get together, then a shopping trip, and back to the BOL for more work.\u00a0\u00a0 And a long weekend with family, of course.<\/p>\n
Stack some of the things you need to pass on your history and culture to your ‘tribe’.\u00a0 And stack some ‘tribe’ too.<\/p>\n
