Hi, this is Wayne. This is my first post on my new personal blog site, The Memory Cache. I'm calling it that, because for the past seven years, I've written and kept summaries and mini-reviews of most of the good books I've read, the movies I've watched, and the TV shows I've seen, partly for the fun of writing them, but mostly as a way to remember more about all the interesting content flowing by me, so I don't forget it all the day after I see it.
Two years ago (when the pandemic was new), I decided to share annual lists of my short reviews with a few friends and family members. They were well-received, so recently I thought perhaps I could make a blog out of these notes to myself, and in the process make my reviews available much faster (than once a year), and to a wider audience. So here we go!
I spent the past three days working my way through all the tech challenges of creating a blog site. It really took me back to my IT database administrator days, when I worked closely with systems administrators: figuring out about Domain Name Servers, making and changing DNS records and propagating them, installing SSL site security certificates, and a lot of other web-hosting esoterica which probably won't mean anything to you if you're not already deep in the IT systems weeds.
But it was a fun challenge for me, and a new opportunity to learn some tech processes I didn't already know: namely, how to set up my own web site, and put it on the public internet. Very exciting! And now it's here. Who knows where this could lead?
Next up: a steady flow of new book, movie and TV reviews from 2022, plus I'll gradually be adding reviews from my previous annual lists (back to 2015). You'll notice I have a variety of interests, so hopefully you'll find some content that looks interesting to you too along the way.
For now, comments are allowed if you want to respond to posts. That will continue as long as comments are friendly, positive and constructive. I'd be happy to hear ideas and suggestions for how to make this blog a more helpful and entertaining site. Enjoy, and come back often!
