Disclaimer

I started blogging with Blogger in 2005 and slowed down as I reached my blogging end in 2010. I have attempted to save all the blog entries in monthly archive pages. It's quite interesting to go back and see my novice, naive enthusiasm for music making and playing, as well as travelling. I also notice that I used a lot of exclamation marks! I must have been excited. For a while, anyway... I note that I slowed down quite a bit from 2008 onward; the momentum of my first batch of songs—written, released, and toured—had worn off. Also, I was amidst my first real bout of homesickness—I was living in New Zealand. A couple other things to note. Some of my spelling is American rather than British/Canadian (I'm Canadian). Regrettably, I note that I used the word "tits" a lot—for a while—without being conscious of how senseless, unnecessary, and thoughtless doing so was. Please take what you read with these grains of salt. Return to the root/index of the blog.

Last post before Blogger cuts off FTP

Well, it's not like I've been blogging tonnes lately, anyhow. But Google/Blogger have decided to drop FTP support for the Blogger platform, which means that folks like myself can no longer use Blogger to populate a blog on their own website.

In light of that, and in the hope that starting a new blog in the future might get me excited about blogging again, I am going to seal off this old blog soon. That means it will still be around for historical purposes, but new comments will no longer be feasible, and neither will new posts.

For those of you who are subscribed to this blog using my feedburner feed (the one advertised from the subscription area of my website), you are free to stay subscribed as I'll continue using this feed for my new blog when it is born.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about (feeds, blogs), then just have a laugh and find the next funny thing on the Internet.
