Typepad RIP

Wow. Typepad is shutting down after 22 years. And they’re giving a whole month’s notice.

I remember, back when I was managing a corporate relationship with Six Apart, when they started telling us that they thought Typepad would be a better match for our blog publishing needs (we had a very large Movable Type installation, running dozens of successful business blogs.).

It really wasn’t. When I left, they were starting to project plan a move to WordPress.

I wonder what will happen to the blogs.com domain they own?

Gnasher has seen better days.

A little blast from the past - I just found my mid-80s Prince August fantasy miniatures moulds.

In the mood for a little discovery.

A modern wooden building - the Rye Harbour Discovery Center - is situated along a pathway in a grassy, rural landscape under a cloudy sky.

I’ve just discovered that there’s an academic conference about Warhammer.

This delights me no end.

My lucky daughters are on a sailing course. I am drinking coffee in the café. Hurrah.
