Real talk, whenever I have a Hard Time with server stuff on this blog, I think to myself "what the fuck am i doing here" as I sometimes frustrate the hell out of myself. The past few days was one of those times as I troubleshot Something or Other and have Tech Support in my back pocket for advice and pointers (seriously, Digital Ocean Support Bench, thank you so much).

And I looked into other platforms. From having Someone Else manage this Classic/WordPress blog, to Something Completely Different with Ghost. Both are pretty solid options.

I didn’t like either.

For the former, I like having complete control over my stuff– even if that does some with the occasional headache and the consequences of my fuckups. I don’t have to jump hoops to do what I need (want) to do, more of less. And as for Ghost, it’s simple: I just didn’t like it. While I’ll definitely keep it in mind for recommendations and possible future, it doesn’t quite fit my current workflow.

So, hi. I had a moment. But it looks like I figured it out.

For now.

Other than that, sorry for the quietness. I’ve been dealing with offline stuff, which includes totaling my car. So that’s been fun.

Currently working on another snarky-like review, and here’s a preview for you:

What other updates I got?

• the response to my message was a nothingburger
• watched Blade and partied
• my bed gained 6 inches from all the mattress pads– and I love it (note: write about that)
• they bit me
• Megan 2.0 is coming out soon!?
• heh heh, it’s all coming together

And that’s all I got as the coffee finally gives out and I get my ass to bed to fight public transit in the morning. See ya later!
