Month: December 2017

I’m cleaning up facebook.

I have posts… oh, I have posts going right back to 2008.  Apparently that’s when I did my last full reset (deleting the account and starting over).

Now, I *could* do that again, but it’d mean refriending people, and that’s not a simple or fun task.

Instead, I have a little plugin I’m running that’s going through and purging all of the various postings.  They don’t serve any purpose really, the last time I went looking for something I KNEW I’d posted I walked away frustrated (I never did find it).

So at best it’s a record of the trivial and the banal, not even as good as a simple blog.  With that in mind I’m going to endeavor to capture my thoughts here instead of dropping them on facebook where they can be instantly lost (and given the average posting size, unintelligible and overly brief).

This does of course beg the question, will anybody notice?  Who goes back to view previous postings?  People will notice what I do *now*, but whether or not my post from april is still there … I think not.

Bear with me while I figure this out.

Well, that’s surprising. The WordPress app for Android actually looks pretty good.

One final post to ring in 2017.  What a year.

We discovered some unexpected expenses right near the end of the year, and getting them dealt with was a source of some tension.  Debts paid, things are calming down.

We have a fence finally, and while I do miss seeing the deer, I do enjoy the privacy it affords.  It makes the space much more private.

I’m back to wordpress. I even managed to bring over my old posts, though some of the old ones may still need some noise correction.

I’m going to try to use this to replace posting on facebook.  Let’s see how that turns out.
