It appears that my average post count per year is about 103. My last post, nearly 2 months ago, was about doing less. I wasn’t really thinking that I’d blog less when I wrote that post. It just sort of happened that way. At least it was a funny post to have be at the top for 2 months, yeah?
Today I walked a little over 7 miles. I had no destination. I was bored so I started walking. I kept thinking I’d turn back soon or decide on a destination and go there, but I didn’t. I just walked. I eventually found a pizza place and, as is the tendency in pizza places, bought and then ate pizza. I also drank some cream soda. It was pretty good.
Perhaps next Saturday I will do more. Maybe even more miles (though I’d prefer they not be in the city).

Last week I said I was going to post more, and perhaps even walk a whole bunch or something today.
If I were able to calculate the total number of feet I’ve rolled around in my office chair today I bet it would be more than the total number of feet I have walked today.
Yeah, I’m working today.
So, that’s more of something.
Just not what I had intended.
However, I did choose this. I traded a day. Work today for no work another day.
Perhaps on that day, whenever it may be, I will walk somewhere.
Hopefully that somewhere includes donuts and/or ice cream.

If you were sitting next to me, or anywhere else in my apartment, you would hear an awful lot of Latin American music. There’s an outdoor concert practically outside my window.

Though it’s a late anniversary.
I first registered ryanware.com 10 years ago: June 1999!
Before that I think I was hosting my software on a user account (eg. example.com/~ryan/) on an old ISP. Before that I was on geocities. Before that I was on Netcom back when it was an ISP. I’m probably missing a few in there somewhere. I had a bunch of awesome websites. And by awesome I mean awesome for the 90’s. At least I thought so.
To celebrate 10 years of ryanware.com I decided to move my blog to a new domain which, you’ll notice, has not happened yet. Today is not the day for the switch, but I did make a step in the right direction this morning: I moved ryanware.com from the server it lived on since the beginning to a newer, shinier one*.
I don’t want to publicly announce what I’m planning because, hey, I tend to take a long time to do anything with my website. Besides, it’s not that exciting. All you really need to know is that, someday, my blog won’t live here anymore (and you probably don’t even need to know that). I’m only posting this at all because I wanted to post something about the 10 year thing before it became 11 or 12 years.
* I went with a VPS at Linode. I set up the hosting account months ago. Seriously. Like 4 or 5 months ago. Thankfully, it’s amazingly inexpensive for what you get, though that comes with what will be a downside to many: you setup everything on your own. You pick a linux distro (or install your own from scratch) and install everything you need, all by yourself. No plesk, no cpanel (you could pay for, and install them if you wanted, but why would you want to?). It’s rather fun, I think.
