In case anyone’s wondering…still here. Basically been deciding on the format and whether I want to absorb the cost (probably about $500) it would take to bring this site out of the blog dark ages.

I can drop this site and lose the 4+ years of content and move to a pre-formated site, or spend a few bucks and have my webhost buddy have a programmer get me past the 324 newer versions of WP that have come out since I started this blog…sorting it through.

Sorry to disappoint the loyal readers I’ve had. PGP has been a great learning tool for me, and I hope for others. I just haven’t prioritized it, and have been focusing on school and work as of late.

Apologize to RSS feed folks who get spam because of this post.

  1. Your RSS feed is still infested. Apparently by incompetent attckers since the links don’t work and the title of the posts get through (and since all I care about is a flag that there is new content - no huhu).

    Consider this a vote for more posts for you whatever the content :)

  2. Uh, somebody quoted you $500 to do a WordPress upgrade? Or … ?

    Really, $500 seems way high, unless there’s a big heaping pile of other work included. Have you shopped around?

  3. How is it $500? Wordpress is free and hosting is cheap.

  4. I’ve been missing hearing your lefty-libertarian take on things…you could keep this site as an archive but do new posts somewhere else with a link back here, maybe. Kind of a kludgey way to do it, but might save $$$?

  6. Hope you get an overhaul of the site soon. I occasionally pass on news from this site to Democratic Underground Forums: Guns.

  7. Dude,

    Don’t apologize. I trust your judgment whichever way you go. Refreshing to NOT have to hear of internecine warfare in the 2A community online a la PDO or THR.

  8. I would suggest you just leave this blog as is, and start a new blog - maybe on the same server, maybe on a free service.

    No sense in trying to change the past when what’s important is the future.

    Wish you luck with whatever you do.

  9. You OK? Your family? The neighborhood? Maybe #8 is right and you should tank it and start afresh with a new provider/service.

    If you’re not blogging, “The Other Sebastian” kinda loses its’ meaning. :)

  11. how about

    1) a wordpress.com weblog

    2) import all of your old entries

    3) change the DNS on this domain to point to wordpress.com (i.e. you get the latest wordpress and keep your domain.

    It looks like you can try their free service to import your blog and try things out, and then later pay for premium services to do the DNS redirect thing. Expenses should be whatever wordpress.com charges for their premium service (I found one post that says $10/year to use your own domain and $30/year to not have them add ads) + whatever network solutions is charging you per year for your domain)

    Need some help? Come to my site for the email address and shoot me an email. I’m pretty good at wrangling bits but I’m not very good at designing layout (you’ll see that right off when you come visit my blog). I think I can set you up over a few hours on the weekend.
