It wasn't worth it
Blogging really isn't something rewarding, and I'm not speaking of money. The audience of a generic, personal blog is limited, and the effort of posting is a waste of energy. A few hundred of strangers that read you more or less regularly can't compensate for the fact that your friends are reading you rather seldom, and that most visitors are coming from a search engine or from a link posted somewhere else years ago. This is kinda frustrating. Nowadays people don't appreciate a blog that is not focused on a single topic (e.g. IT, or books). My blog was just about everything, and it was also with mixed posts in English, French and Romanian. Having comments adds the burden of moderating them, and facing insulting comments is killing my Zen. Not having comments limits the communication to Twitter and e-mail. I nevertheless prefer the e-mail as a form of remote communication. I'm also on Twitter. Apart from stopping the blogging, I've also rejected other forms of social media: my Facebook account has been deleted long ago, and I've also killed the Google+ account shortly after I got it.
Some history
Quick facts about the various versions of this blog over time:
Versions 1 and 2 of the blog were predominantly Linux-centered, with other IT topics too (programming, BSD, etc.). Politics and other opinions were only a small part of the contents. Version 3 was WordPress-based, and it was shallower. I was losing my faith in the Linux community, as I cannot be an unconditional fan of anything, being it a distribution, a desktop environment, or a company, as long as the quality is not constant in time. I can't be a fan of anything, especially when comes to technology. Version 4 was Tumblr-based, which made it quite different. Tumblr makes it simple for people to quickly post or repost quotes, pictures, videos, and so on. In the long run though, I decided I had to stop this. (And yes, you can't comment on Tumblr; not really.) The blog was frozen on July 25, 2011.

I decided to archive about 600 posts from the last version of the blog. They are representative for the Tumblr incarnation, but unfortunately this selection can't illustrate v1 to v3. Due to the process of importing from Tumblr, the timestamp for those posts was lost. They are grouped in categories, and listed alphabetically within each category. There are also a half-dozen archived posts from v1-v3, just for a flavor. The Linux-related posts from v1-v2 are not so important after all those years; things are very volatile in this field. So, one more time, it wasn't worth it. While the blog was frozen, I've finished another 10 posts. They were added to the archive, but only three of them were time-stamped. Two posts from 2010 were also marked with the date.
