I suppose the secret is out; a desktop image was leaked a week or two ago into the Unix screenshot area of reddit.
That can mean only one thing: Yes, I’ve been answering e-mails and concocting some low-end systems again, for better or for worse.
So yes, I suppose I am … you could say, if you want, maybe, it’s possible, kinda-sorta … back in the game. π―
But there’s been a definite sea change. After a year and a half of inactivity, I can’t just suddenly pick up and run.
The best way to handle a transition of this magnitude is to acknowledge the closure, and start again fresh.
So without any further ado, here’s a new page for you to visit:Β inconsolation.wordpress.com.
That’s meant to be a double- or triple-entendre there. I want the focus to be on software for text-based systems, the kind of software that was a joy to write about here, again and again, for so many years.
Therefore, in the console. (Cheesy, I know, but with the layered meaning that I know geeks will appreciate. π )
Fewer personal rants, fewer esoteric system settings, and more applications that are useful for embedded, text-only, or very low-end hardware. More of the goodies.
And good grief, I know I still have enough software to skim through. π― My hands were full when I shut down this site, and are still full now.
Either way, this is the end of the end — things are starting up again, albeit in a new location. If you can take the time, please stop by and see what new toy I discovered. And tell me about your favourite. I do love a good text-based gizmo. … π
Great to see you back, Kmandla!
By the way alpine works well with Gmail and is easier to set up than mutt.
My Christmas wishes have been answered! Great to hear you’re back mate!
Fuck yeah! Welcome back. β€
Wow. Welcome back Mandla-san! Heading over to inconsolation right now…
OMG, I’m glad you came back, it’s a wonderful news, I am eager to learn new things!!!
Happy new year!!! π
I have a feeling, that 2013 will be good π Happy new year to you, sir.
YES YES YES! Welcome back. This is certainly a great way to start the year.
That’s so good to hear. So after all, there was a reason I never purged this blog from my feed reader. Looking forward to your posts, mate!
And thus 2013 starts with a very positive note. Welcome back.
Adding rss feed as we speak.
Welcome back!
I hope that you will still keep this old site up and available in the interwebz? π
Of course! π I would be in big trouble myself, if I ever removed those notes from the web. No exaggeration, but I probably refer to this site once a week for some silly script or plugin that I mentioned five years ago. It may become a fixture of the Linux landscape … it’s already a fixture in my household. π π
Good to have you back, K. I did a trim of my RSS feeds at the end of the year, and for some reason your blog slipped through the net. Lucky escape. π
Yeah! ;_; (tears of joy)
some of us never left you here btw π We’ve just had your RSS feed idling in the background for cases such as this…all the while knowing you’d be back.
You are too kind. π³
