every end is a beginning, except one...
( the step into eternity is forever, and has no beginning or ending )

"grendels mysterium" is departing its web-host of the last 15 years for shores unknown.
in the process, i have decided to leave behind nucleus-cms and the sql database.

mostly to facilitate the process of local viewing and dev work

I wont say that it will not return in the nucleus skin form.
once i get around to setting up and apache server for a test, it might be easy to reload the database from the backup.

everything is prepped for the transition to local storage and continued dev.

the domain name is locked in for over a year, but i dont yet know where to point it.

is there sadness?

i am not sure...
perhaps a wistful nostalgia for a website that has existed in one form or another for over 20 years.

grendels got its start as chaos.rothrin.net in the early 2000s.

which was moved from geocities.com when i left that site behind.
the way i remembered it the advertising on the site was getting stupid with its injection into the pages.

i might search the file archives for exact dating, but there is not much point.

there are exactly 121 surviving posts, and only 5 of them in the last 5 years.
but now that i'm shutting down the hostgator operations, there is a desire to post more.

maybe a bit of spiffing up, and a switch to a javascript driven theming and posting overhaul.
(while is was writing this the online admin editor blew its mind and lost my original post - this is not the first time...)

i have no solid idea when the next post will be, in what form, or on what hosting platform.
lots of vague ideas abound though.
