or “is that a 301 Redirect in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”.

Time has come to shutter d8c.org and take my toys elsewhere. It’s been a fun time, here, and I am sure I’ll miss it to some extent, but d8c was, and is, my companion through six years of technology, dot.com, and game development. That “me”, though I miss it, too, some days, is not more. It’d be disingenuous to claim knowledge about things I have, in the past, claimed to possess expertise on, especially in this rather quickly moving world of ours.

To my visitors, especially those still looking for long-gone content on WoW and Warhammer, my apologies. WoW has, like it or not, believe it or not, wildly fanboy me or not, hit its apex a while ago and is on the, sad but inevitable in this industry, decline. Blizzard knows this, having moved its star programmers and developers into the unannounced “next” MMO. Warhammer, though hailed as the WoW competitor for some time, fails to grab the masses. From realm balances to a game concept that makes it more or less unimportant to make the game “home”, its subscriber numbers have dwindled from over half a million to somewhere around 100,000. Both are still great games, but I don’t really think I want to sink more time and/or effort into them.

To those coming for cooking and kitchen gossip, those who want their goodies and watch me make a food fool out of myself, head on over to chez Geek, my new digs.

After publishing this, I will close comments on all posts, put up a banner, and turn d8c.org into a static site. Thanks for coming over and chilling with me, here, it’s been a blast. Hope to see you at chez Geek some day, door’s open and we serve individuals and groups without reservation, 24/7, every day of the year.

best :)
