2026-02-24 No, that's not me!
=============================

Sometimes I look at the number of posts I'm writing about
Administration and I think to myself: That's not me! That's not who I
want to be. That's not what I want my friends and family to see when
they look at my website.

And yet. And yet, it seems like forever following me. I just ordered a
new server somewhere in Germany so I can move my stuff there. The
current one doesn't have enough disk space, I feel. And administration
issues are just so … bloggable? The blog as a lab notebook where I
write down the stuff I see, the conclusions I draw, the measures I
take, the failures I suffer, the new attempts I make. It's the
documentation of my struggle.

And really, how much can I write about my role-playing games and my
war games? The struggles of my Japanese squads trying to take Cibik's
Ridge in Advanced Squad Leader, the struggles of my magic-user Klea in
the Barrowmaze, the challenges of running Arden Vul using AD&D 1st ed?
I sometimes feel that I've said all I had to say about role-playing
games.

I sometimes feel that I've said all I had to say about Emacs, too.

And so all that remains is the ongoing struggle of keeping Campaign
Wiki and Emacs Wiki up through the ongoing barrage of AI scraper bots
. 😒
