Well, I had to be pushed. I am retired. I do not want to spend days fussing with computers that are feeling cranky. I like simplicity.
A lot of the complexity in our world, especially our computer world, is related to trying to solve many problems with one solution. I suspect there is a monopolistic tendency embedded in that, but I have not fully developed that argument, so I will note it and move along.
Anyway, I came to my blog to post an article recently and it has developed a flaw in the editor. I spent a good bit of time trying to track that down and fix it. Then I realised that the majority of the functionality here is for people trying to do more than post a few thoughts for friends and family.
On a related, but somewhat unconnected front, I adopted the Obsidian tool and the use of clean text with Markdown to keep track of my ongoing learning. I am very happy with it and may write about that soon. They have a publishing system. It turned out to be really clean, easy, and lacking all sorts of customisation and monetisation capabilities.
Perfect.
So, the blog is now living over at the original URL of https://wrightgibson.es. The WordPress version will continue to be available for some time at https://wrightgibson.eu.
Future email updates will be manual using a blind-copy system. If you do not want to continue to receive the email updates, simply send me a quick note. I assure you I will not take it personally. Lord knows I spend considerable time purging my inbox, and too much there can be a challenge.
Talk to you soon!
