Attempt no. 4 at restarting blogging, acknowledging the march of time and turning 40. Ten years ago I said here’s to the next, so I guess… I’m still here(-ish)! Bit Stories is the reboot to my personal site that I’ve been carrying with me for years. The file which has the logo was dated 2008, for cryin’ out loud. I just didn’t do it for so many years. This is completely different - I’m off Wordpress, I’m getting used to the idea of blogging in a completely different framework, I’m getting onto modernisation of my pipeline by going backwards to a non-CMS setup. It will be interesting to see if the lower weight of the setup helps or hinders. ...

Thirty years. That sounds like… a lot. It sure doesn’t feel like a lot - I guess? I dunno. It feels like time has passed, but it also doesn’t, in the sense that I still recall events from 20 years ago vividly should I choose to. But then I get a sense of perspective when talking to younger people, and I share experiences from my past, and realise - really - I’ve done a decent amount and achieved a decent bit… but then there’s so much I’ve still yet to do and still want to do, and it’s not as though I’m running out of time, but I wonder if I’m the only one that feels like the hundred things I’d to get done are just things you couldn’t ever hope to do, but things like movies and social media make it seem like you should be able to get everything done… but it’s just not reality. ...
