Wrapping it up

So… I’m going to be drawing this site to a close.  Truthfully, I’ve not really been thinking of this place for about 12 months now and have merely made the odd token effort to post.

I’ve been giving some thought to what I should do, and the more I thought, the more I began to realise I simply have too much to try and keep up with, and I want to simplify my online life a little. This website is one place I can draw a line under and consign to the past.  I also plan to wrap up foursquare and a few other things as well.  Simplify, and enjoy more.

It’s been a great place over the 6 or so years, and in fact served as my project sandpit.  I learned about domain names, hosting packages, WordPress, RSS, and a whole bunch of other things.  I have learned a lot and I’m grateful for having had the time and opportunity to play around and even receive the odd comment now and then.

What’ll happen to this content?  I plan to leave things as they are for a few months, perhaps until the end of the year, and then I’ll take it offline.  In amongst a lot of chaff, I think there’s the odd little post that I want to hang on to and I’ll be keeping my little mitts on.  The ones about getting engaged, married, and children are all special.  I’ll also be keeping the Reading Lists I’ve kept for the past 5 years, as they’re kinda cool.

And so we reach the end part.  The goodbye part.  And the thank you part.  For reading this, thanks.  For reading other posts, thanks.  Eyes on words are a real treat and I liked being able to punch out the occasional thing for you.

Farewell.
