Joshua Blankenship regrets:

For the last 5ish [sic] years I haven’t touched this site. It gave the haggard WordPress database long enough to get proper hacked by Pharma Spammers a few times.

…and reminisces:

I don’t know much, but I know I love you I know I miss 2004 web, personal websites, and curation that has nothing to do with algorithms. And maybe you do, too. So here we are, dusting off the URL, like a baby Blankenphoenix rising from the ashes of 27,000 deleted Viagra comments.

I restarted this site about six months ago and had completely forgotten how nice it is to just write something, even if no one else is reading.

My greatest regret is losing all the content from my old site. All that’s left of it is some screenshots and scraps of the HTML and templates that made it. I’ve also lost the domain name I used in 2003, but that’s okay. This one is better.
