Somehow I completely forgot about and missed the eleventh anniversary of zanshin.net. The Whois record shows that this site was registered on February 20, 1996.
The nearly 1200 entries here (most since 2000) catalog just a fraction of what has happened in my life in the intervening 3,989 days.
Here’s to the next eleven years.

In the last couple of weeks the amount of trackback spam my site has been subject to has skyrocketed. In all the time I’ve been using MoveableType to manage the site I’ve only had a handful of trackback pings that were spam. In the last ten days I’ve had hundreds at a time.

I’ve started a second weblog, called some assembly required. I’m not sure how this site will fit into the “mark nichols online experience” yet. One thought is that I’ll save zanshin.net for longer, more introspective bits, and use some assembly required for shorter, chatty pieces.

For too long now I have been ignoring a lack of style sheet on the individual category archive pages. Tonight I finally tackled the intricacies of MoveableType tags and CSS and built a proper page to display all the entries for each of the categories on my site. As a bonus these pages now include [...]

Participating in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) has been an interesting challenge. Trying to come up with some thing to say every day, and then remember to capture it here before midnight has been interesting. I don’t really mind, but I am glad that it isn’t NaBloPoYr.
The readership numbers for zanshin are up a bit [...]

I’ve updated my resume page, and I’ve cleaned up some trackback spam from some of the older links.
Keeping ahead of the trackback spam is particularly annoying. My email spam filter grabs the notifications of new trackbacks and throws them in the spam folder when the trackback itself tastes like spam. Since there are some 700 [...]

It would appear to be National Blog Posting Month, so I’ll be attempting to post at least once a day for the entire month of November.

Somewhere in the last posting, or two, I crossed the three hundred thousand word mark on this site. The little counter at the top of the archive page tells me so.
That’s a lot of words.
Amazing what one guy, with no real purpose other than airing his emotional laundry, can do in six or seven years.
