creature from the blog lagoon

Like some gooey, rubbery demon from a bad 1960's horror film, fredshouse has finally crawled out from the tar pits of blog oblivion. No thanks at all to IBM, maker of the fine Deskstar hard drive which scraped all of my bits right off its zippy little platters. And no thanks to me, since I hadn't done a backup in about a year and a half, thus screwing myself quite thoroughly. But gratitude and exaltation are very much in order for the almighty Google Cache, which amazingly turned out to have about 95% of this site squirreled away in its capacious brain. I mean, it's not exactly the best backup strategy in the world to just rely on Google to come by and save your bits, but in my case it worked astonishingly well.

Anyway, if you're looking for fredshouse stuff from before January 2006, you can get to most of it through the archives page.
