I’m told that the Blogless Lepolt will be able to continue here as a blog. I am at present unable to access the archives, beyond reaching the blog index page, and I’m fairly certain that the hundreds of links that I incorporated into that blog, connecting post to post, are all now bad links, and that I am locked out of editing them. However, I shall continue from here.

Friday Gaming Outpost switched to this new server and software, and I could not access the site at all, as the DNS propagation had not yet reached my neck of the Web. Today it took several attempts to get a password for the M J Young name which is connected to my article posts and thus also to my blog posts, and then I needed to get a different password for the mjyoung name (notice the absence of spaces) which is my identity on the forums, and then again I had to get yet another password for the M. J. Young name (with periods) which is still in use in the archives so I could log in there. The site management responded quickly to our distress that we had lost our official Multiverser forum in the move, providing a new forum for our use, for which I am grateful, and I invested my time in restarting games in the new location.

Meanwhile, in the time that I could not access the forum I repaired the audio recording system to eliminate that annoying hum, and cleaned up four and wrote a fifth entry for the Quick Word radio broadcast, recording all five and converting them for transmission to the station. I need to send a note to him by snail mail before I e-mail these, for various reasons, but hopefully all will be in place by next weekend. The new episode I wrote announces the release of the book About the Fruit, which I hope I will be able to release on Thursday, as I’m going to need a bit of startup cash to get it to the next step.

That reminds me, I should create a promotional page for that, too; but perhaps I should do that on Thursday, when I have the link for the book.

I also drove many hours yesterday, to pick up a son’s girlfriend; I will have to return her on Tuesday or Wednesday, the details are not entirely clear to me. That prevented me from doing much else on the Sabbath, although I did have a good talk with the pastor, who likes much in the new book and also expressed a strong interest in obtaining a copy of the Romans notes I use for the daily Bible study postings.

I was not going to link any of this, because all the links I had were bad and I did not know how to make them good. However, I am actually pretty smart, and do have some grasp of coding, so I managed to work out how to get around the problem and reach the old posts. Actually, I made an educated guess, and it was right, so now I can add the links. The links in those posts will all be defective, but one of these days I’ll do an index of the blogs and get that posted in an accessible place. (Anyone who has old blog links and wants to know how to change them to the new links should drop me a note; that will save our hosts some trouble.
