Revamp

If anyone has delved into the early reaches of this blog you may have noticed an annoyance.  Back in the good old days of simplicity I published under the moniker of Starched Collar.  That was an old email address, but it also exposed my personal life to the world.  Wanting to keep myself as private as I could (I am a cagey fellow, am I not?), I created the Deliciousdeity.dd email.  It seems, in terms of functionality or some other obscurity, that maybe last year Blogger decided to pare down its responsibilities and cut me free from that email and some of the content connected to it.  Hence the black screen that one is confronted with when clicking on an image from that time period.  If you want to see the full image and download it as you please, it is not available as such.

In conversation with CAAZ and blog linking just last week, this came up.  I told him that I shuddered at the thought of returning to those posts and correcting what has been erased. Now I am wondering if I can indeed do it.  It certainly won't be done overnight.  Looking into it, from the beginning of the blog in 2008, until, as far as I can see, around February 2010 or so, the blanks are predominant.  Thankfully it seems to be not as large a gap as I anticipated, so there is some solace there that it won't take forever to fix.  As I do ocassionally backdate things (I know, I am odd), those additions I made to the past seem to have corrected a handful of those blanks.

In any event, this is just a notification that I will (probably slowly) correct it.  I will be searching my external hard drives for copies of the images that don't appear, and doing my best to reconsitute what seems to have disappeared.

In a back-and-forth email with CAAZ I did mention to him that years ago I had heard the expression, "Once it's on the internet it's there forever."  Remember that one?  Certainly a naive pronouncement, and not at all the case.  Unless you are Einstein or Edward II or Genghis Khan things are gonna go, Baby.
