whither blog?

march in sepia lunchtime

The outages (or are they rolling blog-outs) lately have really frustrated me. I feared I might never see the blog again! Every time I clicked on that 20six... link, one bar, ooh two bars, three; "sorry this site has not been found." Well look harder, it is there. Somewhere. In the ether. "No, honestly, I can't find it. Would you prefer to look at this one instead?" Oh, ok then. Am I then moving? No, not exactly; it's more, am I opening another door, another direction; this blog, in the very-nearly-three years since inception, has gone from being the equivalent of a sketchblog with words not pictures, to a 'leaving-for-america' blog, to a 'i'm-now-living-in-america' blog, to a part-sketchblog-part-wordblog-part-slag-off-king-george-bush-blog, to the equivalent of a wordblog but with sketches. Three years ago I'd never even heard of the word blog. 

I think I will still have this as blog-number-1 for a while yet, but have decided to definitely do the primary blogging in a different sketchbook at some point in the future, with this possibly remaining as my archive and place of experimentation. This will be the avant-blog. The après-blog will appear sometime soon. In the meantime my sketchblogging will continue unabated (except, of course, by those infuriating blog-outs).

You're right. Enough is enough !
20six is chronicly broken and not for one or two hours. Let's do it one fully week...
A solution ? Two blog in different platforms and a private URL (like PeteScully dot com )
So in case of blackout only change the transfert from 20six to wordpress and inversely.

Good idea. I might go and register the domain name petescully.com right now. That way, Pete will have to pay me for the use of it in future

If I remember right, someone did that to Bill Gates in the early days of the internet. Of course, I think Bill may have paid out a tad more than Pete would.....

This day is coming this week; but this blog will remain, it's just that new posts will be made in the new blog elsewhere in the ether, at petescully.com. I may not be doing the right thing, but it's an experiment.
