I am not in the same position as hon1nbo, but I feel like their story and mine do have many parallels.

For the past few years, I’ve physically set up and managed several web servers in my garage.

I am giving them up. Doing my own web hosting was a ton of fun! There was lots to learn, and it was engaging. However, I want to make room for other things in my life.

When I am administering the physical and software configuration of these machines, I am not journaling, working out, or connecting with friends.

Therefore, I’ve migrated this website, along with https://bethanyandvincent.com to a cloud provider.

This is the most recent step in my ongoing quest to spend my limited time in life wisely.

“We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak”

This is a quote by Epictetus. He lived from 55-135 AD.

Listen with two ears in every sense of the word that you can imagine.
