Okay, since I’m paying such-and-such a year to keep the domain name, I might as well do something with it? And by my count this is roughly the fourth or fifth time I’ve flattened everything especially since I changed hosts last year to bring all my web stuff closer to home.
So, hi, this is Virulent Memes, which is a weblog. Not entirely related to previous weblogs by that name, but also not unentirely, either.
Given we’re in the age of slop where any idiot can churn out “content” by prompting a matrix transformer to shit out a stream of verbiage without a single axon firing off in their braincase, I can at least kick back a little against that, I think.
I’m not completely sure what I’ll put here, which funnily enough is the way it’s always kind of gone. Probably a lot of talk about music and other cultural phenomena, I’m not entirely sure I can add much insight about the geopolitical shitshow at the moment, although at least I haven’t turned reactionary to try and turn a buck.
I’ve not entirely been idle, anyway. Obviously I’ve continued to work on my Antlerland stuff over the years, and I’ve also maintained my little GRAFT AFL ratings project as well. None of which has caused any great splash but that’s all hobbyist stuff.
Err and the CMS thing – well, I’ll poke around with that. The default settings seem okay and I give far less of a shit about “building my brand” as I may have done in my twenties. One has to preserve a certain amount of dignity and not jump off cliffs or smear lipstick across my face in an attempt to appease the algorithm and get 0.000137 of a US cent per impression.
Oh, and I have a fun autoimmune disorder now! Maybe I’ll talk about that. Or maybe I won’t.
