the other side of the mountain

If you are reading this, then you have probably gathered that I’ve migrated the other side of the mountain from Blogger to WordPress.  You may also be wondering what happened at the old site, so allow me to (attempt to) explain.

This was all supposed to be so simple*.  After I’d transferred all the archives here, I discovered that the formatting on the Blogger site had been screwed up in the process.  My solution: instead of re-editing some 280 or so entries, I decided to delete the whole damned thing.  My intention was to re-register the blog and put up the customary “er, like, I’ve moved, okay?” notification after I’d finished tweaking the new site.

This was not to be.  When I returned to Blogger later I discovered that the old site had a fucking SQUATTER!  Someone with a pointlessly pedestrian user name like claude79 or whatever.  Bastard.  I suppose it could be worse – at least it isn’t something embarrassing like mr_bigthrobbingknob.  I know that we have a serious housing crisis in South Africa, but this really takes the schwarzwaldküchen.

* isn’t it always?
