It started out as an experiment/training exercise after I learned that Mac OS X Server 10.4 had a built-in weblog solution. Although blojsom (I think this was its name) wasn’t very elegant, the software became an effective successor to my past Web sites and “printed” magazine.
I’ve had to revisit what the Volume numbers stand for…found it by reviewing past artwork which had explanations buried in ’em.
- Volume I: 1990-1998, mostly printed versions of Picayune over those years with a Web page integrated around 1998.
- Volume II: 1998-2001, returning to Austin and Picayune goes to Web only.
- Volume III: 2001-2003, Picayune is hosted from the house I bought.
- Volume IV: 2003-2005, signified getting married which was a major life changing event for me, I thought I would be a bachelor forever.
- Volume V: 2005 on, Picayune switches to a Weblog solution over individual pages made in GoLive.
What will mark Volume VI? The way things are going lately, I’m guessing it would involve me winning the lottery.
