I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.
Pic of the Day #490
January 22, 2008
Just outside the Roman Agora, Grace and I stopped for a bit of a rest (we’d been walking non-stop since just after breakfast, and it was mid-afternoon by then). I noticed the ruins of a building across the road, and decided to grab a picture of them.

I don’t know what this building was before it…er…fell into disrepair (in truth, it looks like it got bombed and was never repaired), but something about it suggests that it might have been a church. Regardless, it’s a husk now, but it’s interesting that the doorway has survived while the walls have all toppled. You see ruined buildings in the oddest places in Athens, but none of the others that Grace and I noticed had parts of them in such relatively undisturbed condition as the doorway here.
Edit-wise, I tried to do some highlight recovery, but there wasn’t much I could do against the sunlight washing out in the clouds. A bit of fringe reduction was also necessary, as there are some fairly high-contrast areas in this picture.
