I'm still here, though offline issues have been interfering with things, such as a cabinet crash damaging my computer, then it finally quitting a few months later.




Indeed, it died just before ZWG lost its host. So when I came back online and was getting back to my sites, I found that the ZWG address was up for sale. And with the crash resulting in my being locked-out of my e-mail, and losing the link for our sister site, I couldn't find out what had happened.




I did eventually get back in, found the announcement & address change, and am now back with you.




Currently, I am on a seven or eight year old machine with little memory and a slow processor. Fortunately, with the help of a friend, I have managed to retrieve most of my data. Though because of a loss of passwords and links, I am still locked-out of some of my accounts.




The other big slowdown is the story "Sandey" that I'm working on and posting here in chapters in the story section. Around the turn of the year, I ran into two serious plot holes, big enough to drive a semi through. Ideally, I should have gone back and re-written the part that caused them, but that part had already been posted, and has been up far too late to change. I had been concentrating on it since then, trying desperately to find a fix.




Just in the last month though, I found a solution in a part that I had deleted as being "filler". I had deleted that part completely, saving no copies. By rewriting that part from scratch, changing a few things in it, and changing the details in the chapter end, I was able to set up a situation that appears to have repaired both plot holes.




I have been going over it and am still finding typos. But as soon as I feel sure it is cleaned-up, I will post it.




That's all for now, I will post a note when the latest chapter is uploaded.

You realize there are 2 main ways people get "outed", right?




1)  People you think you trust betray you, either accidentally or because they get pissed off at you for some reason.




2)  Someone looks at your device for some reason, looking for something, suspicious of something, repairing something, randomly finds it or picks it up.




 




It's a Hideous risk to keep sites, passwords, bookmarks, favorites, etc. even with a password manager.  (Someone needs your password for some completely legit reason and you're open to all kinds of snooping).




Is it really so hard to remember zoowg.org?  furaffinity.net?  protonmail.com?  epic.app?  whatever?  Personally I have absolutely NOTHING on my machine.  I do however have a 13-character memory trick that encodes every site and password in my mind if I don't splatter my brains all over the inside of someone's barn or machine shed.  Not so hard; go to  howsecureismypassword.net or some similar site, use some suggestions to come up with your own memory tricks.  But really, leave a life trail to all your secrets on some device anyone can walk by?!?

Veracrypt and I don't let people use my machine.




Easier if you have a job to cover for you where people are literally not allowed to use your machine... lol.
