Kill Ten Rats was a big part of my life for a good long time. It’s hard to come back regularly to keep the software up to date and check that everything is still running fine, when all along knowing that the journey is coming to an end. It makes me sad to read posts from the past writers, even more so those of Ravious.
Wondering when and how to take this site down. Do I need to? Do I want to? Sad times.
But then I start to read a post that makes me laugh – and the memories start flooding in fast. We had so much fun, got to experience so much creativity and the joy of exploring new places. Met a whole bunch of great, cool, smart folks. I always feel like I’m in the wrong room, but we had some amazing times.
I’m not ready to let go. Not just yet.

I continue to keep an eye out here. I hope you are well.
Me too! You’re in my feed forever. <3
What I did when the time arrived was do a script-aided static dump of the site. No need to run WordPress any more, just a bunch of static HTML pages that can be served trivially by anything. Meant I could always go back and read, though not write any more. Importantly, other people’s links to me didn’t break.
Samesies. You’re in my feed forever mate.
Actually I still link people to a few of these articles occasionally.
It’s almost weird how much this blog positively impacted my life. There is comfort in it remaining.
