soon come....

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a long time and no progress on moving my blog to it's new home.

I've had a series of unpleasant encounters with GVHD since late last year, and I'm only now getting my strength, stamina and concentration together enough to take on that sort of project again...

So perhaps soon.

Feeling better...

Wow - i'd forgotten about this blog.

My previous, and so far only, post was written as I was languishing in hospital after my bone marrow transplant, and waiting to go home. I'm now 9 months post transplant, and recovering nicely :)

My blog is still on tucows at www.morris.hk but I'm in the process of transferring it to a Wordpress setup which will be easier to control, and I hope, more flexible. See blog.morris.hk for the current state of play. currently stuck on corrupt imports of the export from Blogware. Yo ho. Don't computers make life fun eh?

Frustration!

My existing blog at www.morris.hk has been down for a week and I cant get it back up. Circumstances out of the ordinary I know and no need to bitch about it here - but that doesn't stop me being frustrated and pissed off.

So I'm going to start this one up and
{
if:
- I can import the content of the old blog
- I can redirect the DNS
then
- I'm going to move everything over here, and say bye to a few years of blogware
}

Of course it may not work, in which case this will languish forever unread in the corners of some dusty googleplex backup server....
