In case you were wondering, the reasons I took down all my blog content were as follows:
- I had applied for a job with a company whose corporate image was sort of counter to that which I portray on my blog, except maybe for the cute pictures of cats; I was worried that they might google me and discover this.
- My blog stats were telling me that most of the google searches to my website were from people very interested in unwashed underclothing, thanks to my many posts about that cancer charity event I’ve done the last three July’s. And I was grossed out.
- Absolutely nothing was going on in my life for me to write about.
In regards to 1, the company hasn’t contacted me. 2, the google seems to have refreshed its results into no longer sending such people to my site, and 3, shit’s happening now. So screw the self-censorship, I’m back.
The happening shit to which I’m referring is:
- I’m taking a detour from my DBA career by accepting a reports developer position at a local company. I’m calling it a “detour” because that sounds better than “pay cut”.
- I chopped off all my hair.

- I can’t think of a third point to make, but other stuff’s going down too, seriously.
I’m hoping all of this will return my life into something resembling normality, though that’s a bit much to ask of a haircut.
Welcome back!
Didn’t miss you as much as your cat
Welcome back and congrats on the job. I hope it is ok.
Are you running in the Underwear Affair this year?
Nope.
“other stuff’s going down” sounds very ominous!
Welcome back, again!
