I have recently been accused of maintaining and updating this site. I, at first, too some offense at the preposterous claim... but after thinking about it I realized why that belief existed.

You see, I long ago gave up with having a meaningful web page at this URL and use this as a place holder and test site for other pages I have. Once in a blue moon I add a Grooveshark embedded song to the blog so I don’t have to search for it again. This gives the illusion that the cigar box is actually a functioning filing cabinet.

So, to clear this up to some degree, let me explain why I don’t think much of this site.

The domain name was a gift from a friend some years ago…we had a falling out, but time heals things and this seems to be no different (we are talking again if you are too fucking dense to get that). But, in the interim things in my life changed; there were deaths, and life changes, and insights and clarities and desires and new paths and wars and all that comes with all this crap.

I was a member of a group of good people who played an on-line game. One or two of them were assholes, but that is not that unusual. When the leader of the group decided to close the “Clan” he asked if anyone wanted to take it over. No one else stepped up, so not wanting to see it all go away I offered to take it over. As soon as the process started he informed me he wasn’t going to let it go after all. I would be a figure head for it, but he would really be in charge. I wondered what all that was about so I started digging only to find him involved in the direct distribution of copyright protected programs from the server I was going to be the official owner of. I, of course, made a public attempt to delete the files, bar him from doing it again and letting the other users know what was going on. Not to my surprise at all he had friends that worked for the hosting company restore the illegal files and remove me from owner without my consent. I then made a strident effort to distance myself from the repugnant and illegal activity of that group.

Part of that was that this Domain Name was associated with my there, and it became an issue.

Once again my moral stand was at odds with the general populace. Rather than continuing the fight I chose to sterilize the dog.

Since then (9 months ago) this site has been a place holder.

So, the accusation I give a fuck about this site is not well founded. I do care about it, but don’t see the need to try and keep it going after all the other shit in the world. There are countless sites on the net, and when I stated things I felt the need to I was accused of “whining” about the world. In the end the human race is doomed and I am going to take “Grampa” George’s stand… I am going to stand back and enjoy the show. As a result I don’t really do much here.

I do have an RPG site, I am doing a grassroots Publishing Company for a game I am designing and a historic site to the travesty of the clan I once thought of as friends. I did have others… but over the last year I just can’t give enough of a shit to bother with keeping them going. I almost let all of them go a month ago.

So, there you are; my site interest in a nut shell. Now, stop accusing me of keeping it running. It runs… I don’t keep it that way.
