Being
a bit of a completionist, for some reason I wanted to copy the content
from my original Sift Blogger blog from over a decade ago, and add it all as a single page to this blog. Some of
it still amuses me and this entire blog is primarily for my own
amusement so why not? The all old SIFT archive page.
Somewhere
around 2009 to 2013 I used to have a blog on Blogger. That blog was the
inspiration for this new 2024 version. I'm not certain what the exact
time span of the original was because the dates on the posts all seem to
have
disappeared. The most recent post was about the abomination that was
Windows 8 and that came out in 2013 so I guessed the date from that.
Around
that time I was posting on quite a few platforms and Blogger was
certainly not my number one daily driver. I just used to do some
occasional short posts on it. Apart from one post when I first set up
this new blog
in 2023 I never posted on that old blog after 2013, so after a decade
away I was actually quite surprised that Google hadn't deleted it
all.
But
some of the content certainly doesn't amuse Google's AI, so this is not
quite all of it, only what Google will let me re-post. Back in the old
days internet censorship wasn't as full on and the old blog seems to
still be all online here.
