Re: I've mothballed my blog
#24My site went down back in May(?) when TextDrive mishandled what was apparently the final switchover from Joyent. I thought I was going to get it back up quickly, but I've left it down, realizing that while occasionally my site came in handy when I wanted to look something up, overall it was work. Also, my blog had been up for nearly 15 years and I felt I didn't need to keep a permanent record for the world of everything I've ever written. I've come to embrace the temporariness of things.

#25Archived content is still available through Google, but some images likely won't load. Example: http://blog.jgc.org/2012/02/long-range-wifi-antenna-from-ill... Question for discussion: it is well within John's rights to do as he wishes with his online property, but what are everyone's thoughts on the _why-esque approach of simply pulling all of one's "shared digital life" off the Internet?
I haven't done anything _why like. There's no drama or mystery. My blog content is still there. I deliberately put up a 'so long and thanks for all the fish' message on jgc.org because I knew that some people would start to wonder if I just stopped blogging and tweeting. TBH I'm a bit disappointed this on high up on HN. There's no exciting news here. I'm busy doing other stuff, like working at CloudFlare and existing…

I have no idea who you are, what you've done or if I've ever read anything you've written. Yet the idea of... retreating from the public side of the internet, or perhaps the internet all together, seems mighty appealing to me. Perhaps others agree, and this is the reason it is high up on HN?

#27John, If you're reading this, please reconsider and at least keep the pages up. Just stop adding to them. There's a wealth of good stuff in there and it's painful to see a hole in the web like this. Whatever you chose, thank you very much for all your contributions, it's been a pleasure.
All the blog pages are still there. I haven't taken it down. By mothballing I mean: I've stopped updating, I've disabled further comments and the front page has just one story on it, but it's all there and indexed. I don't intend to delete stuff from the Internet as I know there are many people who read the old stuff I wrote (thousands of page views per day). If anything has broken I would like to know about it as th…
I completely understand. It's just that I used your homepage to navigate from there. Ok, fair enough :) Once again, thanks a ton and if I can ever help you know where to find me, just ask. j.

I use the term "let lie fallow" for my long neglected personal webpage.
