Better Than Nothing?

A quick update on efforts to restore this here website to, I won’t say its former glory, but to whatever it was before it got broken into and wiped clean a couple months ago: Some clips are back! They’re old ones, but it’s better than nothing.

Also, while there’s been no luck restoring posts from old backup files, I was able to import posts from my old wordpress.com site. So enjoy this version of me from four years ago, marginally employed and blogging frequently. (Turns out those two are related.)

That still leaves three years worth of missing content, but it’s better than nothing. Isn’t it?

Oh Hey

So this here site got hacked a couple months ago, and it’s taken me until now to get around to wiping it clean. Will three-plus years of content be magically restored sometime soon? Who the f knows? I’m just glad to … Continue reading →

I’ve Moved!

Hey there, and thanks for stopping by. Thing is, I don’t live here anymore.

I’ve packed everything up and moved to paulmcmorrow.com. It’s nice over there – there’s loose talk, lots of white space, big pictures I’m using without permission, stuff like that.

In fact, it’s got pretty much everything that’s over here, except that it’ll keep getting updated with bloggy blog stuff. This one won’t. So reset your RSS feed settings and come on over!

April Housekeeping Notes

admin — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:15:10 +0000

A few changes of note around the old Rancho de TK TK. First off, this blog’s face has undergone minor reconstructive surgery, and unlike some people, I think we came out the other side looking better.

I’ve dumped Chris Pearson‘s PressRow for his Cutline theme, and am really happy with the results. I think the new design feels more unified and less distracting than the old one. It also accommodates image headers on individual posts much better than the old one, which should really allow me to break up the look and feel of all those Hill and the Hall cross-posts.

If everything proves sufficiently usable and easy on the eyes, the next step will be getting paulmcmorrow.com hosted, and hauling this show from WordPress.com over to WordPress.org. The endgame here is, obviously, a heavy paper stock business card with a halfway professional-looking URL on it. And maybe a two-tone picture of the Golden Dome. We’ll see.

I’ve also been able to sprinkle some new content throughout the clip archives. Old stories about Mitt Romney being a bastard, kids on bicycles, art museum security guards and state IT policy join a wicked awesome new interview with Mikkel Borg Bjergsø, the homebrewing superstar behind Denmark’s Mikkeller brewing company.

Unrelated but noteworthy: The new Daytrotter session from Ezra Furman and the Harpoons? Awesome stuff.

A quick housekeeping note: They’re finally here. PDFs of old Dig stories. And more are on the way.

Now you can relive the glory of deadlines past. You’ll love it. Maybe.

Since there’s so many of them, I’ve reorganized the clips page, splitting the old Dig section into three new pages, for the calendar years 2005, 2006, and 2007. Hopefully, this’ll make your trip back in time as easily-navigable as possible. Enjoy.
