January 6th:

	Happy New Year!

The holidays are over and it's back to business as usual.  I think I've 
largely worked through my extended period of ennui, or at least enough 
that I can be creative and productive again.

Nah, screw "productive", I'm not creating a product or growing a brand 
here.  I really need to get out of that mindset, that I'm "producing 
content".  I'm not.  I'm just writing whatever's on my mind, storing it 
on a public Unix system, and hoping to Hell nobody who reads my BS takes 
me seriously.  Not exactly a hot commodity.

I've considered blogging (as opposed to phlogging/gemlogging) again, but 
I'm suspicious of most existing blogging platforms (privacy, AI scraping, 
etc) and frankly don't want the hassle or expense of self-hosting.  Hell, 
I'm even cautious about what I post on the Fediverse these days, 
especially now that the AI Cancer has Meta-stasised and Threads is 
everywhere.

So, that said, if I commit to writing again (and I probably will), it'll 
be here in Gopherspace, the Gemspace, or Finger @sparcipx.

Speaking of the Fediverse, I've moved servers/identities again. My main 
Fedi account is now @powerword@friendica.world.  I moved over to Friendica 
because it handles Mastodon as well as Diaspora*, so I don't have to 
juggle two apps or browser tabs.  Everything is under one account without 
jumping through a bunch of hoops.

I'm keeping my other Mastodon account @septemberagenda@mastodon.sdf.org 
open for now, checking it periodically but focusing on my main account 
above.

Anyhow, I should probably get some work done.  My coworkers are back from 
their Christmas/Holiday breaks and the support calls are rolling in.  So 
far, forgotten passwords are in the lead...
