I probably would have made more progress in Ark if the first item on “clean inessential nonsense off the hard drive” wasn’t “uninstall Ark.”

Anyways, got 250GB more free space on the hard drive.

Being very true to form, in that I started an outline on a blog series idea for #SiYuanNote — awesome tool, rather intimidating for this non-Chinese-reading person. But text outline felt too constrained for this morning’s mood so I broke out #KinopioClub.

In the process of migrating my blog to a new host and initial rsync reminded me how much heavy lifting up front is involved in a static Web site.

454 MB of files! Course, for a site that’s been up since 2001 or so that’s only like 20MB per year.

That’s like — what — a Gatsby blog with three posts?

please hold

Migrating to a new Web host. If you can see this that means I succeeded.

Just need to wait for all the upstream processing so I can go from self-signed certificate to regular old SSL / TLS cert.
