Goodbye, KrakensDen

I’m not going to renew this domain when it comes up again next year.

This is hard to do- I’m sadder about it than I should be. At least partly it’s about ambitions left undone- I have always wanted to be a regular blogger, but I’ve never been able to commit to topics or spend enough time on things. So here I am, with maybe 38 blog post over 9 years. There were more before then- I registered this domain in 2007- but I lost them reworking everything, as one does.

That rework was a really early experiment in Go- maybe even pre-1.0- and honestly, I still don’t know the language very well, despite very occasional dabbling since the very early days. A big, non-blog related regret.

I wish I had written more, and put more effort into what I did write. I wish I had followed up and done more book reviews. I wish I had the courage to write things and then tell people I wrote them, instead of just shouting into the void.

Still, here we are, and it’s probably time to stop throwing good money after bad.

I’ve used this nickname in dozens of places since I was 12 years old. I’m 34 now, it’s time to let it go.
