Myspace blog has really been getting me down. First, they've made the blanket decision to direct *all* hyperlinks to *all* websites of the
geocities domain to a page that says this, exactly:
As I described in
this blog entry of Friday March 28, 2008, you can no longer access (among others) the
Impaled Northern Moonforest back-up website--parked on geocities (url subverted by myspace code = http://www.geocities.com/return_of_the_necrobation/ if you want to copy-n-paste in your browser) and guaranteed to be there for time frostbittenly eternal because I'm the one who loaded it there--through a simple click from myspace. I promise you, there is absolutely *nothing* malicious, no spam, no attempts to get your password, none of that stuff there. I don't know what myspace's issues with geocities may be, but I suspect some ridiculous political bs, perhaps somehow related to Google, in say, I don't know, a collaboratory effort to take over and monopolize the world, but maybe it's just myspace lame-os slack at work. Can't forget that Rupert Murdoch connection, tho'. Anyways, facebook lets us link to geocities, and so do all the other alternative blog sites I've checked so far...
Second, on
April 19, 2008, I noticed that there was no longer a "currently listening to" feature available...
that was for crap... Ironically, tonight as I begin to make real steps towards moving,
suddenly the "currently listening to" feature has returned. Hah. Too little, too late myspace drones!
Third, as I've been bitching about forever, there's no damned easy way to access past blog entries here at myspace. Earlier this year, in fact, they blocked access to all blog entries before 2006. They finally got that straightened out, but then, they changed the edit feature, and I was trying to fix a broken link on the
2005 Xmassacre entry--a broken link caused by myspace doing something to their code, in fact--and it wouldn't let me preserve the date of the original entry, such that suddenly, even though it was supposed to be 2005, and all I did was change the img src to the new place (uploaded the image to myspace so they couldn't block it again), it would only allow me to record the date as 2006 (or 2007 or 2008... so 2006 was the closest, ya know).
So tonight I was taking a good long look at Wordpress, and I'm thinking I'm gonna do it... I'm not sure about doing it tonight... but I think I'm gonna do it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the new blog or this old one. I just wanted to let my half dozen readers know there's likely gonna be a real change in my blog activity in the next couple weeks. I may separate the radio shows, or maybe not. Like I said, I'm just thinking about it right now.
And I have no idea what DJ Lt. Dan sounds like, cuz I'm not really listening to that... it's now just a question of thematic title...
