What Do you Do With an Old Blog?

A blog is nothing if the person behind it doesn't have projects. That's the whole reason for taking the time to maintain one of these things: either you're renovating a house, having babies, moving your website to a new server, building a tennis ball gun, or documenting your vegetative mental state.

When I started this site, I had several projects brewing:
  • The above-mentioned tennis ball gun
  • Getting through the paperwork for adopting a baby from China
  • Stopping the Republicans from carrying out their evil agenda for America
As you can see, all of these projects have more or less been completed. So the question becomes: what next?

I don't know the answer to that, but stay tuned for mayhem from Franklin Street.

Haha, the machine was the easy part (running win2k3 in a virtual machine); it was migrating all the data from my old blog engine over to the new one (they didn't have an upgrade tool at the time, so I ended up writing my own...that was a long weekend trying to figure out schema mappings between the 2), and then there was changing the domain name itself and getting all those mappings set up. Sheesh.

It's funny you should say that about what's next...I always think that my next post will probably be my last, then I think of something else to ramble on about. I initially started my blog out as a tech only blog but quickly ran out of things to talk about so I just started typing about whatever. I don't know if your engine supports post categories; I just keep coming up w/ new categories to put stuff in and let the readers figure out what they want to read about. Keep on keepin' on though, if not only to use it as a time capsule one day (I read some of my posts from when I first started blogging...too funny man).
