No sunning today! I saw the Sun break through the overcast briefly on a few occasions, but that has been the best of it. And there are a chance of showers cited for the weekend.
My wife had to work a full day today (she has an 11 a.m. start), so I have had the afternoon largely to myself once my younger brother left quite early into it to hook up with at least one of his drinking buddies at a pub to play pool. As he expressed it, he was taking best advantage while he was still able now that B.C.'s 'vaccine passport' system is scheduled to be unleashed upon us in exactly 10 days.
Both of my stepsons were at work, the eldest having an afternoon shift.
When I watched some T.V. with my brother a little after 10 a.m. this morning, I had in mind watching possibly one video related to that topic of the 'vaccine passports', but he expressed an interest in watching Odessa Orlewicz's journalistic video report on behalf of Druthers concerning the Vancouver nurses' September 1st protest / walkout against mandatory COVID-19 'vaccinations'.
It took some exploring, but I finally located the sole source for her report ─ the only location for it that I can find is at Druthers Facebook account: Vancouver, BC worldwide walkout!
The video was nearly 1½ hours in duration, and did feature some interesting speeches in the latter section.
I correctly calculated thereafter that we only had time for an episode of one of the regular T.V. series that we follow, so I tuned in an episode of Black Sails ─ the finale (episode 10) of season two.
But I wish to change topics.
I have written about intending to set up a new website so that I can migrate the contents of this Blogger / Blogspot blog to the new website and thus be free of the threat of Google's censorship ─ Google owns Blogger / Blogspot. And at least eight relatively recent posts of mine have been "unpublished" by the bastards.
A day or two ago I finally settled upon a Domain name for the website, and today I paid Porkbun to have the name registered for three years.
I thought that I already have two websites hosted on an account with them, so I wasted a couple of days trying to figure out just which of their account plans it was so that I could purchase a separate one for my new website.
Do you think I could resolve that seemingly simple riddle?
Finally, I realized that I did NOT have my website account with them. Only today did I figure out that my two websites are hosted on an account at InterServer.
And I now have essentially figured out which account plan I originally selected. However, that whole effort has pretty much depleted me for today, so I am not going to take that plunge quite yet. Maybe I will get around to doing it over the weekend, since I won't have to be concerned about committing any afternoon time to doing any sunning.
This is a long weekend, by the way ─ Monday is Labour Day here in Canada.
I must here express that I am far from set where concerns that migration of this blog. I only have 790 posts, but they are monetized with AdSense, Amazon, and AliExpress. Also, I have a related private blog that has well over 3,400 posts that I would also like to migrate, but keep private for the foreseeable future.
I am nursing some notion of starting from scratch and gradually reproducing the old posts from the very beginning, making an effort to edit each of them as I go along so that they will not be exact reproductions. There is also an enormous amount of content in old posts that was just filler ─ discussions about and links to health-related articles that no longer matter to me, even if those original articles I linked to still do exist online and the links have not become invalid.
The flaw with this process is that I have been blogging since sometime in September 2008, and I already spend so damned much time blogging every day. Adding that whole new workload is boggling to contemplate. I would likely only manage to edit and republish a post or two per day.
In other words, I could never possibly catch up to the present ─ I would need to completely stop blogging, and even then it would take me a few years.
However, I do not dare stop blogging in the present ─ it would be history lost.
Further magnifying this enormous dilemma is the fact that I will be having my 72nd birthday next month ─ I do not necessarily have years and years of time to bring this whole project to fruition.
Nevertheless, I am sorely tempted to attempt this labourious revamping of my original blog posts, despite the improbability of ever living to see the task up to date.
I would solicit the reader's input on this, but I don't think I have any readers.
