Perpetual Hosting

Here’s an interesting topic, and one that i’ve put a lot of thought into. I’m not going to live forever. I sure hope not, anyway. In fact, I may not live until tomorrow. There’s more things that’ll kill then will keep things alive. I may just run into one of them. If that were to happen, what happens to my stuff? Does my life online die, like I never existed? Do I hope one of my friends from #TheCabin jumps in and archives all they can and puts up some kind of lame shrine like for this guy?

Dave Winer and Nick Bradbury make this comment. Maybe it’s something we should pass along.

Sick

Argh. I hate when I get sick, it never goes away. I got sick this weekend and it’ll be here to stay for a while. It’s the standard “i think it’s a cold” but really I know it’s a sinus infection, because that’s what I get. It’s a sore throat because of all the crap falling from my sinuses as a post-nasal drip, and when I blow my nose I get equal part nose crap and blood crap. Yes, it’s a sinus infection. If I make myself go to the doctor and get antibiotics it will go away. If I don’t, it will stay… indefinitely, until I go to the doctor.

In other news, at noon Central time Steve Jobs will kick off this years WWDC with a bang as usual with his Stevenote and tell us what we all need. Some things to look for.

Status on my album, or whatever

So i’ve pretty much had the freedom now for over a month to work on my music whenever I want to. There’s a problem though, an a rather large one. I don’t want to. There’s just too much going on, and i’m unable to focus on a large project like that at the present time. It’s really bothering me.

I mean, there’s no timeline, so there’s really no problem. It’s my own thing, and there’s nobody chomping at the bit to listen to this stuff. But I think it’s good, and I really want people to hear it, I just can’t get myself to finish it. I’m a really different place now than I was not so long ago in so many ways, and it’s really difficult to try to force yourself back into that mindset.

I don’t know, I know breaks from this stuff is good from me. History has shown me that when I leave my music for a duration of time I come back to it with a clear head and I look at it differently. Generally when you work on anything for a long time you start caring about the details and not the big picture. And that’s always true in projects i’m involved in.

So hopefully soon I can figure out what it takes to get back in front of that desk and finish this stuff. There’s so much to come i’m really excited about.

See, i’ve even started wiring things up!

Happy Monday

So it’s Monday. For whatever reason my alarm didn’t go off, but I never sleep late anymore so I woke up without a problem anyway. Just woke up a little later than I wanted to. No biggy.

Had a good weekend. Sat around and watched Joost last night. It’s a great alternative to paying the awful cable company $100 month for Oxygen Network and the Golf Channel.

I’m not allowed to talk about certain people on my blog, but that doesn’t mean I can’t tell you what’s going on in my life. My second attorney filed a continuance last Wednesday to push off the court date due to the injunction that’s still on the record. I was told that opposing counsel and my attorney couldn’t come to an agreement on that injunction and gag order, so they’ll have to fight it out in front of a judge later on. Hence the continuance. I’ll fight this injunction forever if I have to. This divorce will not be finalized until it’s gone. I hired a specialist attorney who deals with online privacy issues just to fight it, and i’ll do more if needed. Take my life away from me, fine. But you can’t take my freedom of speech online. So yeah, I was supposed to be divorced by now. But it doesn’t matter to me. I want to do it right, not do it fast. I do hope that this resolved quickly for everyone’s sake, however.

You may wonder why I’m even in this mess to begin with. The best I can guess is there might be a claim of “Publication of Private Facts”. Even though nothing I’ve done has fallen into that, and that’s not even what i’m hearing the problem is. Everything i’ve ever published is in the public domain, as there was the telling of at least one other person, and therefore making it public. But again, that’s not what the complaint is. I’m just trying to make sense out of nonsense.

And remember, everyone feel free to comment without fear of anyone going after me for something you said on my blog. Section 230 of Title 47 of the United States Legal Code protects my rights in that.

Looking at art

So i’m looking at stuff to throw on the walls. I bookmarked a few things on my apartment list at http://del.icio.us/gabek/apartment. My favorite is a big black circle for over $260. It’s so pretentious. I love it. I’ll be that guy.

I have two more Matrix posters to hang, but they’re so large, i’m not so sure i’m going to use them. They’re so cool, though. Maybe i’ll put one in my bedroom.

I watched Episode 2 of Heroes last night. I’m not sure if I like the show yet or not. It’s not gripping. I could watch episode after episode if I wanted to, but I’m not. Unlike LOST where when an episode ends you’re left hanging and you’d do anything to see the next, with Heroes i’m fine that it’s ended and I close the player instead of grabbing the next to see what happens. Oh well.

Stay r33t.
