🎶 Hello, is there anybody in there? 🎶
So, it’s been a while. I think my last post to this site was back in 2020 or so, when I wrote an open letter to my students about Black Lives Matter.
I had basically ignored this site since then, and as a result, it was hacked. And every post on it was hijacked. You could click on the links, but the site would automatically redirect you to a spam site.
Evidently, this is a fairly common bug, but it’s also one that’s not terribly easy to recover from.
Yes, I had a backup system running, but since I didn’t notice the problem much over the past five years (it was a busy five years with many changes in my life), the backups were all infected as well.
Just goes to show you that you shouldn’t ignore things in your life you care about.
The good news is, I have all the important stuff, the words.
The bad news is, reposting all the old stuff seems like a lot of effort for little reward at the moment. This was more of a public journal than anything else, anyway.
So, we’ll see what happens here. I suspect this site will be fading away once the ISP renewal comes up next year.
I do have other areas where if you’re interested, you can still follow me. While I’ve basically dumped social media for the dumpster fire that it is, I do have another site that’s mine where I post my photography and occasionally a thought or two.
You can find that site at russwinn.org. Feel free to give it a look if you wish.
And to those who read and commented on my stuff in the past, thanks. I’ll see you around.
