A few months ago I received a mysterious letter addressed to me. I do get a lot of junk mail, but this one was to an old address which usually means I forgot something important. When I opened it I found this ominous looking link. I've been receiving the classic scams blackmailing me over the videos they've recorded of me watching porn on my laptop but this was an escalation since it was snail mail.
It's a classic Rick Roll, of course, from my friend Marc whose blog disappeared some time in 2010. You can see my old blog on the blogroll there. I took a few minutes reading his old posts from 15 years ago and it reminded me that I have a backup of my own blog somewhere on one of the numerous disk drives I have sitting around. It hasn't been online in some ten years ago so when I find it, we will finally have a test of whether Wordpress's migration software can handle that kind of distance.
