most of the content is even more personally embarrassing than it was when I blew it away last time, six years ago. No one should have to reconcile with specific texts of their own teens, twenties, or thirties, which was the explicit reason I used to keep it up, until I didn't believe it anymore: the unexamined life, blah, blah, blah



the actual work of getting it to build was mostly fighting with the cruft of fads and new-things (shtml, textpattern, wordpress, octopress, etc) and incredible journeys ( [https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/](https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/)) and stuff I'd divested from over whatever reasons seemed sufficient at the time. Oh, we are all protest-deleting our github accounts now? Ok, I can do that. Oh, flickr got acquired and is being weird? Cya. tumblr too? bummer.

so I'm finally going back to 1999, running it for myself only, on my home internet connection. kinda nice tbh
