Over the weekend, I was talking to a reader of this very blog when… okay – you got me. No one talks to me, and if they did, it certainly wouldn’t be about this place. But if they *did*, I’m pretty sure it would go something like this:

Totally not made up blog reader: “Hey Mike, I hear you used to have some Apple II stuff on that there 6502lane blog?”

Me: “What of it?”

Totally not made up blog reader: “Why don’t you repost some of those old articles? At least that way it will look like *something* is going on around here, even if it really isn’t.”

Me: “What a terrible idea! Go away, one remaining reader! I need you not!”

(Note to self: restore old articles and, if possible, pass it off as new content.)

(Second note to self: claim credit for the idea.)

Okay, so maybe trying to pretend like I’ve written anything interesting in the past few months is a bridge too far, but even if it’s for no other reason than to feed my bloated ego, I’ll be reposting some of the old posts that were here before the blog was hacked by Pharma-spammers way back in 20… 12?  11?

I don’t know enough about the goings-on of the WordPress database back-end black magick to be able to do a restore in the true sense of the word – reader comments and stuff like that won’t make reappearances. And that’s unfortunate, because they were often the best parts of my posts. Oh well.

So look for that in the near future.
