While I’m Away

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’ll be leaving work early today and hitting the road to visit the in-laws to do our Christmas celebration. I’ll be limited to dialup access all weekend so I don’t expect I’ll be getting much content added around here. I just wanted to take this opportunity to point out that, even when I’m not posting here, the forums are open to one and all to post their own thoughts, or share links, news items, whatever. Feel free to use them! Or at least let me know that someone is looking at things over there and getting something out of it. 🙂

Have a good, and safe, weekend!

    You are my online community, and while your numbers might not be as large as the number of followers I had on other platforms, I’m not worried about how this platform will change and become dangerous to any of you. This platform, MY platform, is safe for survivors, for those of you with mental health struggles, and for those of you dealing with illness, oppression, hatred, and discrimination. There are no shareholders to be beholden to, no one tracking you, no ads. There’s nothing here but one guy reminding you all that you are not alone.

The new version of Movable Type is aimed at helping with comment spam and server issues surrounding the countless comment attempts, while the PHPBB upgrade is because of a security issue. I’m…
