Bonum Certa Men Certa

Our Sixteenth Anniversary

BN's registry



BN's first post



Summary: This coming Sunday our first post turns 16; this coming year should be an exciting one

This coming weekend (assuming we count first post rather than domain registration; details above) we'll turn 16. There's only good news, not bad news, for the site. We gradually continue our migration to an Alpine server (Git was successfully migrated this week) and we expect to have even more time to devote to this site, likely meaning more output (articles, IRC and so on).

"The demise of Social Control Media has had no impact of us; we never participated in such stuff."There's no major celebration, even though in prior anniversaries we had cakes and stuff [1, 2, 3]. Last night we opened a couple of small cakes here (chocolate and carrot cakes), but due to pandemic (still lots of deaths here in the UK) we stay home.

Our upcoming (seventeenth) year will bring many changes as we strive to simplify the site from an engineering perspective. We have our own (custom-made) CMS now and we're seeing a healthy level of interest in the site and the Gemini capsule. The demise of Social Control Media has had no impact of us; we never participated in such stuff. Social Control Networks were a waste of time all along -- a temporary bubble of sorts.
