Heh, welp.

August 2020 to now August 2023. That’s quite a gap. Not entirely unusual for me, but a lot happened in three years (as it would, and did, for everyone).

To sum it up:

• Covid happened
• I took on a big new gig at work
• I took on a different big new gig at work
• My dad died
• I separated from my employer

I think that’s about the sum of it.

I’ll get into more over time, I’m sure¹I’m not all that sure., but the main thrust of things is, existence moves inexorably forward and I continue to ride the shoals and rapids of life.

For now though, hello again! I’m Josh, I do stuff, I write things, and I’m going to try to forgive my absence and get back to doing more of that. We’ll see how that goes, eh?

Thanks for indulging me, in all and sundry.

  I’m not all that sure.

Hahahahaha, I finally remembered/relearned some rudimentary HTML and CSS. And also, in the process, learned some new tricks.

So, hopefully, this project I’ve been pseudo putting off for months will finally get done riiiiiiiight in time for me to go on vacation. That is, unless I get unexpectedly swamped with other rando bullshit. Which, to be honest, not all that unexpected.

Still, go me.

(And yeah, lemme beat you to the wisecracks: I should really fix my damned homepage while I’m at it. But that’s a job for future Josh, who doesn’t have 5 separate work-related projects and a handful more non-work-related ones in the hopper. Maybe a very far-flung future Josh. Good luck buddy!)

It’s January again, which means yet again, I remember that I’ve got this blog that I don’t do a damned thing with. One goal this year is to get this whole website moved over to my own server, because I like to backwards in time rather than embracing the virtual machine, cloud-based future. I’ve always wanted to run my own server for some weird 90’s-kid-nostalgic reason. That’s what you did when the Internet was cool and new to me, and I never had the technical chops (or the consistent network) to give it a shot.

Welp, we’ll see how that goes.

Seeya next year, probably.

(Side note: I’d probably post a lot more here if not for A) Twitter, which fulfills that urge to shout into the void quite well, and B) the fact that I won’t write about work, whether out of concern for privacy or worry over its banality. And since I seem to spend the vast majority of my life either actively or passively working…)

(So it goes.)
