asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 28/08/2026ASM has been closed for over two years. But Peter pulled me out of "retirement" to write another article. I don't have the reach on Bluesky that I did on the bird app, and I refuse to log in there. Please, if you could, share this in all the places. asminterim.com/2026/08/27/s...asminterim.com 013
asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Postscript: Daily blogging, if that is still a thing, is a younger person's game. Far too many people did better things than I did with more and less resources, and I can't compete. 100
asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Finally last year I realized the 25th anniversary was coming up, I sort of made peace with the fact that my plans would never come to fruition, and it was better to end it cleanly than let it drag on a slow death. So, that July, I posted a goodbye, and that was that. 4/4 110
asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 09/03/2025... because the old .net site was so scattered with what worked and what didn't. But I had lost the desire and drive. Couldn't keep up with it due to life and work, and only kept it online because of my constant hope it would change. 3/ 100
asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 09/03/2025In 2017 or 2018, I lost my domain thanks to the owner of my registar suddenly vanishing and the website stop working. Couldn't get it back. Got the .net but that broke things. Never recovered fully from that. In 2021 or so I made one final run at it with a new domain and new instance of WP 2/ 110
asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 09/03/2025I first did hand coded HTML files. After a few years, I created my own CMS using SHTML and standard header/footer/menu blobs as includes. I switched domains in 2005. In 2008(?) I switched to WordPress. 1/ 110
asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 08/03/2025I posted my goodbye 25 years to the day after starting it, and I haven't posted anything since. If I ever do post anything again, I'll probably start fresh because the old site is a mess of several domains and incompatible posting systems. 100
asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 08/03/2025I, too, am in whatever place retired website owners go to once you realize shutting down the site is preferable to letting it just stagnate. Or at least, that's what I did. 100
asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Well, well, well, glad to see you on Bluesky! 100
asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Stay angry. Stay focused. But stay safe and stay protective of your loved ones. 021

asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 15/11/2024The amount of joy I got from seeing them again was surprisingly large, and it was like finding old friends again. It's that kind of joy I missed from social media, and quite frankly, a lot of my digital presence. It's the same joy I got when I was writing and posting regularly. 2/2 000
asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 15/11/2024One of the interesting things about turning on this account on Bluesky after months of not posting on the Bird site or even reading it much is that in less than two days I've been followed by two people I had forgotten were my old followers. 1/ 100

asmzine.bsky.social @asmzine.bsky.social · 13/11/2024I am so over complex transformations. Give me a simple but fun one any day of the week. Like Siege Sideswipe -- it's easy, it's satisfying, and it just works. 010
