Category: Site status

I’ve just installed the Activitypub plugin and so far I can’t find it from Mastodon, and I assume this is because I haven’t posted anything to the blog yet since I installed the plugin.

I’m going to try to get the blog going again. I used to enjoy doing this. The ebook market has not evolved nearly as much as you would have thought in all these years, but at least it’s not all Amazon anymore. There aren’t a ton of cool new business models built up around ebooks. I know my kids read ebooks sometimes on their phones, but are more likely to read a paper book. Whether this is the cause of the lack of business models around ebooks, or the effect, I don’t really know.

Pretty incredible that WordPress could revive a database left untouched since 2009. It’s likely this will go dormant again pretty quickly, but with so much content disappearing from the internet, getting this back online seemed like the right thing to do.

I could be wrong, but I think I’m all set up on the business hosting rather than my personal hosting.  There will likely be a few hiccups, but hopefully they’ll be small. I’m wrong.  It might be that the DNS records just haven’t updated.  We’ll see.

Over the next day (Or perhaps weekend), I’m going to be moving this site from my personal hosting to Manfred Macx corporate hosting.  Shouldn’t be any real interruption, but if you happen to comment here after I dump the database, it’ll probably get lost.
