The All New Fortress Of Solitude!

The Countdown Begins!

Almost there..... Almost there...

It's awaaaaaaaaay!


Well... OK. Not quite. But I couldn't resist it. So, uh, "negative, negative."

Just thought I'd give you all another update on how the site is looking so far. I had a bit of a technical hitch with getting images onto the site (they did a magic act - one minute they were there, the next they weren't) but after a few e-mails to your friend and mine Hackers Anonymous I was up and running again.

You know what, though? I'm going to just concentrate on getting all the actual content over there before opening the doors, Willy Wonka style (no creepy falling down stairs dance, though) to you all. So please keep in mind the new Fortress won't be perfect at first - it's still going to need a few licks of paint here and there, but I can do that once things are up and running. THEN when it IS perfect is when I start going on other sites and trying to get new members in.

I've also got my new Voice Of Reason to write and record, not to mention my Uni work and God knows what else, so don't expect it to come overnight.

But it WILL come. Oh yes.

Until then..

This is the end...

My friends. The end.

Sometimes epiphanies can be a bad thing.

Sometimes you take a look around and you DON'T like what you see, what you are and what you do. This is one of those days, and will bring about a major change.

Weird, I had just almost finished porting all the Fortress stuff onto the new site when I suddenly thought "what am I DOING?!" And that's when I decided.

No more Fortress Of Solitude. No more Amazon reviews. No more Voice Of Reason. No more Irresponsible Hate Monger.

No more Curmudgeon.

I spend far too much time on the internet now and, for God's sake, I'm a married man. I need to grow up and move on.

So this is it, friends. Thanks to everyone who's been here over the last year. Thanks for dropping by and saying hi.

For anyone who comes here after reading my Amazon reviews or who has been offended by anything I've said over my time as The Curmudgeon - I apologise. I didn't mean any harm and write whatever I said as petty insecurity.

If anyone else wants to get in touch from time to time, I'll still answer e-mails, so feel free to drop me a line.

Ladies and gentlemen, to quote a great man - it was.. fun. Oh my..
