After four months of radio silence, Oh Hey It's AJ is back, and perhaps you've noticed things are a little different around here... Let me explain.
The short version is that I lost everything.
The slightly longer version is that things all went wonky. My MacBook died in November and the repair fee was insane, so I opted not to fix it. My Internet BFF was going to send me her old laptop but then I discovered that my Mac issue was a known issue that others had petitioned about and that Apple had decided to extend the warranty on that particular hardware problem, so poof! MacBook all fixed up.
While I was offline, the hosting on my blog expired and I lost all my old posts and every picture that I had posted, because I am the worst and I didn't do backups. This is especially embarrassing when you take into consideration that I have been working in web for over a decade and if anyone knows better, it's me.
Sooooo... Blogger. I don't have the patience to set up a whole new self-hosted Wordpress blog for myself right now. Maybe we'll revisit this later, but I just wanted to get OHIA back online, and this was the quickest route. I found a few old posts floating around in the Wordpress app on my phone, copied them over (no pictures, though... *whomp whomp*), and here we are.
Time to rebuild.
So, for now I just wanted to pop in and say "hey, I'm back, wheeee!" and get everything all up-to-date around here. Thanks for bearing with me!
