13-06-2016: final archiving steps are done (still ranting...)

tracks worked on in this vlog:

am i done?

not exactly.

will ever be? a few more days...

i've now got the youtube & facebook files merged. 5256 pages? yeah. that's not including the music review profile (2011-2012) and some of the politics page (2010-2012), which will together take me well over 6000. nor is it including any email, any usenet groups, any web site writing...

it's really just youtube & facebook comments, and only since 2012.

while it's not done, it's done enough to move on. what does that mean?

well, first i need to catch up on the vlogging, which will mean clearing this page down. and, i really plan to keep it cleared this time. i'll no doubt keep ranting, but i'm moving it off this site to a blogspot site. i just don't trust social media to house data anymore - you never know when things are going to disappear. that won't take too long, i hope.

then, i should be able to rebuild the main bandcamp archive - which will mean updating the document, too. i'll rebuild facebook as i'm doing that. but, i'm going to wait for the aleph-disc. i kind of initially wanted to do this all at once, but i no longer think that makes sense.

first things first - i'm eating. then i'm showering. i crashed hard when i came home two thursdays ago and have barely moved out of my chair since. i was hoping to get a good chunk of the aleph-disc done, but instead was stuck continuing the build-up to it.

i will be catching the joy formidable tonight. it may be an overnight in ferndale. i have yet to see a show at this venue. but, i have no plans to leave early to catch the bus - this is a band that i'll stay the night for.

the next chunk of time runs from the 14th to the 21st. i think i can reasonably hope to get close to rebuilding my second record by the time i get there.

so, from this point, this page is going to fall back to publishing new/old music as it gets republished. i'm confusing at the best of times.

but, archiving is comprehensively complete. the remaining build is new writing.
