And then there was none...
Every beginning has an end, every end has a beginning.
That phrase has struck a chord with me the moment I first came across it.
After writing and/or blogging online for almost 15yrs (the last 4 under my own name,) I've found myself at a point in time where it has lost my interest.
In the days of the Information SuperHighway *snicker* the topics revolved around tech, the burgeoning p2p movement (think newsgroups, DC++, ed2k, IRC) and the like.
Writing then was 'easier' as I had plenty of content available to me that wasn't for many others.
Now, with Twitter and all that it offers, I find my rants becoming focused, and less wordy.
I may find myself here again, occasionally... The blog will stay live as there are some posts/links I wish to maintain.
As Wastebook no longer offers a mobile version of ones Page unless one has a minimum amount of likes... perhaps the writing is on the wall?
Thank you for reading along.

It's about time...
I just finished 'cleaning' up my personal Facebook account.
Was a long time coming.
This has nothing to do with the (now) useless and irrelevant Timeline algorithm, I just didn't see the point in sharing personal photo's and such with those I'd never knew/met/spoken to/had a drink with/shared a d00b with/exchanged emails or even texted. I just don't see the point.
Please take no offence, but with the lack of privacy in today's world... well, you see what I mean.
This does not mean the NSA can't (and doesn't) continue to read my personal page. :p
Everyone else... you can follow along here, or my Facebook Page, or even Twitter.
Please and thanks.
Here... have some bacon.

Plus One
At 01:32hrs on Friday the 20th of March (the first day of spring, and... the date of our last solar eclipse) Ali (herself having turned 23 the day before) and her partner Stirling welcomed their first born... a Son. Weighing in at a healthy 8lbs 14oz this little man has changed their world forever.
As a first time GrandFather I have to say that you, have changed mine as well.
Hello and welcome to our newest family member... Caelum Tristan Greensides.
