This is now the third version of Dark Brightness, and the second iteration of getting this page up. Over the last three days it has become quite clear that somehow I managed to get the database for WordPress corrupted. If I restore it, the site falls over.

Serves me right for not keeping my own copies.

Now, the link to this site is blog.pukeko.net.nz I have a photo site up, which is working at photo.pukeko.net.nz. (If you look at the links, you will find that these differ — the links pukeko.net.nz/(blog or photo) work just as well.

So, what will be here?

• The Lectionary. Links, daily comments (or as close as I can get to that), resources
• Daybook. These will be generally shorter posts, linking to something friends have said. Since I am interested in traditional or conservative Christianity and the issues relating to being a solo Dad — admixed with my science fiction and linux comments.
• Reading Notes.  These are comments on scientific papers I am reading at the moment, rather than blog or essays (that belong in the daybook)
• Quotage.  I do not do link lists that well. But I do find quotes and put them together.

If this place leads to discussions, so be it!

Oh, and if any of you are curious, I look like a dyspeptic orc.

Update. I now look like a gray dyspeptic orc.

Christmas 2017 update.

In the last year I have remarried, blended a family, had my father in law die, dealt with a change in government and a culture of taking offense, seen my gym implode and my church almost do so.

Still here.
