1000th Post!

Matt just called to ask if I had anything special planned for my 1,000th post. Huh? Apparently, this is post #1,000 on vladville.com:

I had to include the SPAM count as well, pretty impressive. I also like the number of comments – for everything I say there are at least 3 people that say something too. That’s precisely the point, to write (talk) about issues and air them out.

Over the past two years you’ve seen me experiment with a number of community initiatives (some successful, some spectacularly embarrasing) business ideas, opinions, technology articles, roadmap thoughts about Microsoft/Linux/Apple as well as everything (and I mean eeeeeeeeeeeverything) that was on my mind. If there is one thing you can say about me is that I do not hold back. But, I have learned what works and what doesn’t and I think it’s time to start with a new plate.

Now what to do, what to do. This is something I’ve actually been thinking about for over a year when David Overton asked me to clarify if I still felt the same way about some bug that had been closed months ago. So, what am I going to do between posts 1,000 and 1,001?

I’m going to delete them. Everything aside from Vladfire, VladCast and SBS Show is going bye-bye. If there is a particular Gaypile post or flamedown that you’ve had your heart set on its time to snag it now because by the next time you see Vladville it will be gone.

Update: Wooops. Nuked the last 10 posts before I realized that I might want to have a backup for archival purposes. Anyone have a plugin that can archive posts to HTML for WordPress (yes, I could easilly write it myself but the plate is kind of full at the moment)
