• Taking a break

    Hi

    I just deleted my vultr server which hosted happy land / magickabbs sites.

    I also deleted the facebook page and twitter page.

    I'm not abandoning my projects. Just need a rest. I've moved the information from the magicka site to my weblog.

    http://andrew.pamment.id.au/magickabbs/

    Magiterm etc can be found there.

    The twitter page was never used, and i rarely posted on the facebook page so
    I cut them.

    I took a backup of happyland, maybe i'll restore it one day.

    Right now and for the last few days I've been quiet flat. I need to start something new and meaningful but i don't know what. BBSing just needs to take
    a back seat in my life. That doesn't mean I won't visit other bbses, or work
    on my projects. It just means I'm not going to pour so much of myself into it.

    Anyway, you know me. I'm a fickle sort.

    Well, it's a sad day, even if perfectly understandable. Knowing how much
    effort it takes to code things, you were doing a wide variety of tasks that
    had to take up a bunch of time. And BBSing is definitely a hobby with limited related potential.

    Still, it's been a pleasure to have you around, and I hope you still check in occasionally. Maybe give us updates on what other projects you get up to.

    I also deleted the facebook page and twitter page.

    I'm up to about a month without Facebook (not including messengers, which I still use), and am happier for it. Now my only real vice is Reddit. I'm not counting BBSing in that, even if I'm drawing an ANSI or two a day for my BBS calendar that no one sees. :)

    I've gone without FB many many times over the years. Now I'm okay with
    it, I simply skip all political posts, and I never reply to anything except
    food posts. LOL

    which I still use), and am happier for it. Now my only real vice is Reddit. I'm not counting BBSing in that, even if I'm drawing an ANSI or two a day for my BBS calendar that no one sees. :)

    I need to find a good meme sub on there.

    I will, and thanks.

    Sorry there wasn't any notice. I felt a bit guilty just clicking the
    delete button.

    We have an inspection coming up. It's been over a year since we had
    our last one so have to do a bit of tidying / cleaning over the next
    little while.

    I'm not a huge meme fan (they can be fun, but I'd like whatever I'm seeing to be 90%+ things that aren't memes.

    So one of my pie-in-the-sky ideas is to use IronicMemes.com as a social media website where memes are banned.

    Good! If you don't I have your email and am not afraid to use it! ;)

    I wouldn't worry about it.

    We have an inspection coming up. It's been over a year since we had

    We don't bother. They are only really checking for smoke alarm /
    fire alarm and to make sure we're not running a grow op here.

    Our rental agency tends to make comments about things, like cobwebs etc. My wife has a big todo list (including scrubbing the green off the door handles)...

    But yeah, as long as you're not smashing up the place, they're generally happy we're paying rent.
