Hiatus
If it hasn't been obvious I'm on hiatus and probably will stay as such for a while longer. Too many other things to focus on. In fact, I'm thinking about scrapping blogging altogether. I don't get out of it what I used to (primarily because I don't put into it what I used to).
Curious: assuming that I stop blogging, how would people react if I just took down the weblog entirely? E.g. any links people had made to old articles would be broken. Is there some etiquette around this? Is there some way to do it politely? re-directs? 60-day lead time? What?

I think that'd be a shame on both fronts!
-Greg stopping all together - bad :o(
-Greg wiping his posts - also bad :o(
The first one's obvious but as for the second I've got no right to feel this whatsoever but I think I'd probably be a bit miffed that chunks of conversation and links for me and others would then make no sense.
So, first up I'd ask you to sit on it a bit longer and see how you feel down the line and secondly that if you are going to call it a day if there's any way we can help to keep your content there (I've got plenty of hosting space if required) then please just say.
Cheers, James

Removing, re-arranging URLs without a forwarder, a message, and explanation (often bookmarked, linked fomr other sites) is a cardinal sin of most web sites, especially corporate ones. Do not succomb to the desire to add yourself to the 404 club. I have several links to older, worthy articles from 10RY.

Oh, this is Greg's blog. There is no escape, Greg. You shoulda learned that when your mind stopped being that of a monkey. ;)

Isn't this site part of your MBOs? If not, it should be. Keep on blogging!
