John, If you're reading this, please reconsider and at least keep the pages up. Just stop adding to them. There's a wealth of good stuff in there and it's painful to see a hole in the web like this. Whatever you chose, thank you very much for all your contributions, it's been a pleasure.

All the blog pages are still there. I haven't taken it down.

By mothballing I mean: I've stopped updating, I've disabled further comments and the front page has just one story on it, but it's all there and indexed. I don't intend to delete stuff from the Internet as I know there are many people who read the old stuff I wrote (thousands of page views per day).

If anything has broken I would like to know about it as that's not what I wanted. I just wanted to be free of the responsibility of coming up with new stuff. My life is so full that it was getting neglected and so I decided to prune rather than let it wither.

I'm grateful that you're leaving the stuff up. I've learned a lot from you over the years. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

I completely understand. It's just that I used your homepage to navigate from there. Ok, fair enough :) Once again, thanks a ton and if I can ever help you know where to find me, just ask. j.

I use the term "let lie fallow" for my long neglected personal webpage.
