Click not just at the 1,000-entry mark, it's also 2 years old

In my recent post, in which I related how I missed the fact that Click had reached its 1,000th post, I neglected to mark another blog milestone:

Click is 2 years old. I had forgotten, until I looked at the monthly-archives list on the lower left side of this page, that Click began its life in August 2006, under the auspices of now-former Los Angeles Daily News online guru Josh Kleinbaum. He let me pick the name, which was a nice thing.

I had been doing some technology blogging on my own, but the chance to do it for the Daily News has been, for lack of a more sophisticated cliche, a wonderful experience.

Not the least of that wonderfulness is being able to write exactly what I want with no interference whatsoever. The blog is here, I write, and that's all there is to it.

That said, I'm trying to broaden its appeal somewhat. My weekly print column aims at a more general audience (not that Linux, OpenBSD, old hardware and free, open-source applications don't play a part in it), and I'd like to give that audience more in this blog than the nerdish revelry that comes with succesfully writing to my OpenBSD disklabel and not blowing the whole system to bits while doing it.

Once again, if you work at the Daily News, or any Los Angeles Newspaper Group paper, and you want to write about technology your way, I'd love to have you do it here. I'll set you up right away.

And thanks, readers, for stopping by, writing comments and linking to all of this froth and circumstance.
