About

This is mostly for mobile users. This page pretty much repeats what normal people can see on the sidebar which means I will have to update two places, which isn’t very likely to be consistent.

A redheaded boy, dressed as a highwayman, holds a flintlock pistol. He is sitting on a red plastic chair with an Australian Cattle Dog to his side. Since I like to give AI warnings, DALL-E created it from a drawing and some photos, and I edited it quite a bit to fix the weird deformities.

April 7th, 2025: The WordPress theme from 2010 that I insist on using is apparently riddled with performance issues and incompatible with everything. I have switched to a theme from 2012 that seems more stable and doesn’t set off all the alert panels. It also works on mobile browsers though I had to add this “about” page.

April 3rd 2025: I tried to write one post per decade, but failed. One every 12 years seems okay, and it’s a follow-on post to the last one. Also the site isn’t mobile friendly yet. Since I am not mobile friendly, this is never going to be a priority.

October 2024: My old WordPress MU finally broke too much to maintain it. I moved my sites off onto individual instances so now this thing stands alone, and I have broken all the very legacy pretty themes and fonts.

April 2010: I have moved this from its old home so we’ll see what happens now.

October 2009: I am trying to be a little more regular with posting. Wish me luck!

April 2008: I have been a little bitter and cynical the last couple of months. If you want lighter more amusing stuff then maybe you should skip the top few postings.
