After ignoring this blog for a decade, I've decided to post to it again.
Why?
Because it seems to be a place that has survived all these years of inactivity, intact. Many of my other places to store information have become obsolete, like my personal Mediawiki and Drupal sites, where I have to do migrations to keep their databases.
I will try to explain why I stopped using the blog someday, but not now.
