While improving ExploreNorth and The ExploreNorth Blog is an ongoing process, other parts of my network die. I opened “Everything Husky!” in 1999, but as of a few minutes ago it is effectively closed, with most pages except about 35 pages of evergreen content deleted. Linking to other sites...

Rebuilding the blog is a massive job, but I’m actually quite enjoying it. I’m enjoying both the end result, and the countless wonderful memories that get triggered by it. I now have 246 posts in the new format. Here’s a look further back. On August 26, 2008, I posted:...

For many months I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the old blog that got hacked and wasn’t recoverable (it’s a long sad story). A couple of days ago, I came up with the only reasonable plan – hugely time-consuming but it will get it where...

I’m writing this post on February 22, 2023, but as it’s a presentation I gave on October 24, 2018, I’m back-dating to look like it was posted then. Sometimes I find files in places they shouldn’t be. I stumbled across this Powerpoint presentation a couple of days ago, and...

It’s been 3 weeks since I’ve talked to you, but it’s not because I’ve just been sitting around watching TV and drinking beer. When I wrote back on January 17th, that our puppy-fostering had reached a happy conclusion with everyone having found a forever-home, I was a bit ahead...

For the past week, my view has been variations of this sort of screen, as I move almost 30,000 Web site files to new servers. In my continuing move towards retirement, I’ve closed both my travel and Web site hosting businesses, and moved my own sites to new, much...

The subject of Northern history shows up a fair bit on this blog, and a lot on my main Web site (ExploreNorth), but I’ve never really shown you what my passion for history looks like at home. With the weather not being very conducive to outside activities, I’m spending...

… makes Murray a dull boy – and am I dull! Between Web site work and house renovations, I haven’t been out of the house much lately except to go to the hardware, and I have a basement full of materials for the winter. The big Web job is...

We have a long list of projects that need to be taken care, but with this amazing weather, we’re mostly just goofing off for the 4-day weekend instead 🙂 Yesterday, we went on a swan hunt and ended up in Dyea. We drove the Tagish loop to go by...
