Back in December I had hoped to be able to get this blog going once again but it just has not happened.
Due to personal and financial issues I am officially pulling the plug. As I stated in the very first post, the blog was always about me. There were never any advertisements here and no attempt to monetize the blog. Think of it as old school BBS mentality. I’ve spent a little over $500 hosting it these last 4 1/2 years so it was always a money losing issue. I basically did it because I enjoyed it. At this point I just do not have the motivation or desire to continue.

The plan was pretty simple: get a 512MB stick of memory installed and look into a more powerful video card with dedicated memory.

Rather than giving up on the blog at this point, I have added yet another anti-spam tool to fight all the comment spam.
