Not even a whimper.

And so, my career as an itinerant, occasional columnist for sites owned by AOL has (again) come to a quiet close, to nobody's real surprise. I haven't exactly been using it as anything but lunch money anyway, and there has been fuck-all to write about for most of this year from a PC gaming hardware perspective.

The fact that I'd write a finely-crafted 900 word article, just to see it bumped for a 200 word C&P from some press release didn't sit well. The gig itself was done for pocket money.

I'm good friends with my now-former boss' boss (faience), and her former boss (who isn't with AOL any longer), so I got a couple friends out of the deal, and some stuff to play with, albeit temporarily.

Now, to make Shrink Geek kick a massive amount of ass, as well as keep my own stuff perking along (folks have begun expressing interest in my services on a semi-professional basis). Not that I wasn't going to do that anyways, but, you know.

Hell, I even freshened up the original Digi-Disc page, only six months late for its 10th anniversary.

I imagine Curmudgeon Emeritus must be cr[xxx] [redacted in case you prefer it that way] but I still aspire to make it to at least Junior Curmudgeon 2nd Class one day *eg*

Oh, you're talking about the old greeting info on D-D. CM is the guy with whom I used to blog politically, and that's his chosen title. His site is now http://www.eternityroad.info/index.php

Ahhh, thought that might've been an honor you'd bestowed, heh. Judging from what I've read, he's certainly earned the monicker. Kudos to him for style.

I'll keep my aspirations, though *g*

Beware of staple-removers.

Um, if you take my stapler again, I'm going to burn the building down.
