The other day was a bit weird. It’s very rare to see unattended dogs in my neighborhood, but I had a pack of three big dogs just show up in my back yard, sniff around, and then disappear just as quickly as they appeared. Then right after that at work I had two different clients from North Dakota have weird technical issues that made no sense. I had to leave the first one of them without a resolution after an hour and a half of troubleshooting because I had to meet with the second one. Got back with the first client the next day, started troubleshooting from the beginning and had it resolved in 30 minutes. Have not gotten back with the second client yet, but I’m tempted to try again even though we have a work around for that issue so it’s not that big of a deal.

I’ve also been thinking about the future of the site. I wasn’t sure if I’d manage to keep it going because I mostly started it to deal with my crazy reaction to the Dysphoria EP, and as an ADHDer I tend to do a thing for a bit and then move on to something new. I might come back to something again, sometimes repeatedly, but keeping up with a thing consistently over the long term usually doesn’t happen.

Currently I’m thinking I’ll try to keep plugging away at the site slowly. Keep it alive and growing, but with no pressure to finish anything in any specific timeframe. I’m just not sure where I want to go from here exactly. I like using my site as a way to listen to my favorite music while I’m working, but because I have to embed stuff from other sites it is a bunch of work and stuff can change without notice. It would be easier to just listen to my personal music files with an app on my PC.

I like the idea of sharing my favorite music with others, with the hope that maybe visitors find something new they like. However, based on the analytics the truth is that I get very little traffic and those that do come usually don’t stay for very long so they can’t be reading or listening very much so am I really sharing anything with anyone? I was trying to have fun with the site, and I do enjoy the coding and problem solving, but I know how much new stuff there is to do. It’s mostly maintaining things now, and that part is not as much fun.

Anyway, I’m not quite ready to let it go, so I’m still working on it until further notice, or just abandonment.
