OldManJim currently has 2,543 Posts, covering the more then five past years of my life, along with thousands of images. Sometimes I shut it down, despondent with life and questioning the sharing of crap I just wrote.

It usually doesn't last long, because I always have something to say, so I just trash the stupid shit, and bring it back online.

Shelby observed via Text recently that I had deleted my Blog again, and it got me to thinking. To Delete this body of work would be a major task, and to Restore it, even more so.

I've been a computer programmer for 57 years, and I know how to do a few things. Like create a commented block of text at the top of the index.php file that controls the whole blog. All it does is set the entire screen to solid black, turn off the cursor, and then just stop. The code and posts and images below it are still intact, your browser just never reaches them.

If this Blog is dead, and so am I, and anyone wants to resurrect it, use my laptop to add the two forward slashes to the beginning of each line, which are comment codes, to this little thing I call the Hide Switch.

When I want to kill the blog I just remove those two forward slashes on each line, copy the modified source from my desktop up to the server, then clear the cache...
