In past years, I have maintained a number of blogs on different topics. Cloud Hands delt with taijiquan, qigong, yoga, and gardening and was hosted on Blogger. The Green Way Blog , hosed on Word Press on my webserver, included all former topics and a hodgepodge more, and will be my only daily post blog in 2009. Starting on February 14, 2009, I will only post daily to my Green Way Blog, which is now hosted by TypePad.
Most of my writing and research is located on individual webpages or PDF files that are published by Green Way Research. These webpages are easily found in the long list of links to webpages in the left sidebar of this Green Way Blog post you are reading now. The right sidebar features outside links to a variety of websites, webpages, video, blogs, wikis, etc.
Unfortunately, all my Word Press blog posts to my old Word Press formatted Green Way Blog from 2005 until 2008 were lost in a crash of the Word Press software at my ISP Blue Host in December 2008. My Green Way Blog and the Spirit of Gardening homepage were replaced by HaCKer Assain substitute webpages, and the Correct Files just disappeared for URL access because of some hackers dislike of others. Three years of Word Press formatted blog posts - gone. However, I've done regular backups of content on CDs.
Folks at Word Press have some evidence that the vandal hackers worked out of Palestine and Saudi Arabia. For all we really know, I could have been chosen by a clever and mischievous atheist Word Press hacker from Fort Bragg, California, or a prankster nerd from Hong Kong, China. WtF, who knows? I hope it was a good looking half-clothed woman smoking a joint at her computer in India hacking some ISP webhost in Utah just because she might also be a nasty Top. I favor fantasizing about the Lady in India.
The Spirit of Gardening was HACKED!!!??? Kind of a surprise to me. Pretty much mom and pop stuff on that old website with an old gardener's ruminations, mediocre scholarship, lengthy displays of a bibliomaniacs compulsions, and all presented on blander than bland vanilla webpages. Quite popular with English readers, despite its ho-hum bumpkin .html appearances and folksy roots. Unquestionably a storehouse of interesting quotations. See what you think, for example, look at Seeing.
A stoic like Senecca would extoll us to face all obstacles and failures, with manly honor, courage, toughness, reason, resilence, will, and always honoring the Providence of Fortuna who brings bounties and woes and sure death. Buck Up, Get Tough, Forge Ahead, God Willing, Till the End!
An ordinary old fellow like me laughs, says "tommorrow", then he uses some intelligence and reasoning, and then creates something new. Publishing The Spirit of Gardening and The Green Way Blog will continue tommorrow morning.
