Then something only vaguely like a human face filled the screens, its features stretched across asymmetrical expanses of bone like some obscene Mercator projection

Still officially offline, but: while I was off in East Thrace the server that hosted chrononaut.org was hit by something, for the second time in a few weeks, and to save ongoing headaches for myself and for Brandon, who gets the complaints from the hosting company when people complain that chrononaut.org/discontent.com is attacking them with zombie botnets, I decided it was time after fifteen years to get out of the business of being my own webmaster and move this site to WordPress.com.

As you can see it’s still a work in progress—moving all the posts from my most recent WordPress installation (ca. 5 years ago) was pretty quick but the links and images are still mostly broken and there’s still the archives from my two earlier blog incarnations that need to be converted from flat files into something WordPress can import, but I hope to have that done in a week or two. I’m afraid the permalinks I went to so much trouble to preserve when I went off MoveableType are no longer perma-, but at least all the posts should be there.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled no programming.
