I haven’t been posting. Why? Because I ran into a technical issue that prevented me from connecting Jeykll to the GitHub repository where I store this blog. (Don’t know what that means? Essentially, I could write but not publish automatically.) Weekend after weekend, I tried to solve it.

I read post after post that claimed to have the fix. None of them helped. I have decent beginner’s technical skills, but I could not find a fix.

Eventually, I accepted that I was going to have to uninstall (part of) a commercial piece of software. It still took a couple of weeks that get that completely erased from my system.

But when I had, other things got broken. It seems that the commercial software didn’t bother to remove itself in a safe manner. Very much the equivalent of taking the baseball and going home. I spent years learning, when programming and configuring, to put things back the way I found them. It seems that not everyone learned that lesson well enough.

Plus, in the past year, I’ve moved from one computer to another, and that messed up a few things as well.

I’m back. I’ve had two blog posts outlined for over a year. I expect to have to restructure them, but I will start posting again.
