What a long strange road…
It’s been a while coming, really, but between dealing with uncertainty, unemployment, and family deaths, I’ve been neglecting this website for a few years. It’s needed an update for a while, I’ve known.
The road has been one of those that cause you to evaluate what is really important to you. I’m not sure what it says about priorities, but Halloween come out ahead of a lot of things.
It was very nearly down to feed the family or make Halloween in 2014. It had come that far, when a lot of other things had fallen aside. Fortunately it didn’t quite come to that decision.
2015 was filled with it’s own roller coaster of putting things back in order, both financially with stable employment again, and as a family when my wife lost both her parents. Mother and Father were not just creatures, but my own way of working through this in my head.
So, with 2015 in the books, and a new appreciation for just how important this “hobby” is, I decided to finally put in the work here on the website….
And the first update broke the entire thing.
For 2 days I sat looking at a dying husk. I had thrown a static archived page up live to the public, but I was unable to edit anything, unable to go ‘live’. My patience for such things is fairly limited. I’d try things for a couple hours, and have to take a break. I contacted my host, and we’d fix one problem just to create several more. There was only one option left.
KILL IT.
And start from scratch.
I was able to save most the content, though some of the really old stuff probably doesn’t link correctly these days.
So, we are back from the dead. And better for it.
Now fully responsive, it should be readable on your mobile devices. At least the main page here…I’m going through and working the other pages one at a time. Once I figure out how to configure some of the other gizmos, we’ll have more features popping in as well. It’s taken me two weeks to get these bare bones back up out of the ground, and it’s time to start adding some flesh to them.
