First, a\u00a0quick recap for anyone who may be unfamiliar with my blogs. I have three: Paul’s Thing, my personal blog (the one you’re reading now); Crouton’s Kitchen<\/a>, my online cookbook and recipe collection; and the Half-Mind Weblog<\/a>, where I write about the Hash House Harriers.<\/p>\n

Lately I’ve begun to think of the Half-Mind Weblog as Halfmindistan.\u00a0My forces have been engaged\u00a0there for 15 years, almost as long as\u00a0my country has been in Afghanistan. It may seem inappropriate to use a military metaphor for blogging about the hash, but\u00a0I feel as if I’m at war with\u00a0the Half-Mind Weblog, so here’s a\u00a0SITREP to bring you up to date.<\/p>\n

There’s been something wrong with\u00a0that blog’s software for a while now. It’s gotten worse: I can no longer\u00a0add new posts to it. The simplest solution, it seemed to me, would be to start a new blog, then import\u00a0the contents of the old blog. This is proving to be an even knottier military problem, and I cannot guarantee my forces will prevail.<\/p>\n

For now, I’ve decided to\u00a0keep the existing Half-Mind Weblog online as an archive site. Visitors can still read everything that’s there, including years’ worth of Ask Doctor Down-Down advice columns, interviews with notable hashers, rants about hashing, hashing history, the hash dictionary, how-to posts for new hashers and hares, the hash party cookbook … basically everything I’ve ever written about the Hash House Harriers. You just won’t see any new posts there, because that function no longer works.<\/p>\n

Instead, when I have\u00a0a hash trash or something new to say about hashing,\u00a0I’ll post it here on Paul’s Thing. This blog, thank G, still works perfectly.<\/p>\n

This may only be temporary. I may still figure out how to\u00a0transfer the old blog’s contents to a new blog. And we may eventually defeat the Taliban and turn Afghanistan into a peace-loving suburb of the USA.<\/p>\n

In other words, don’t hold your breath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
