Daimonion

 From Wikipedia:

Daimonion (Ancient Greek: δαιμόνιον, daimónion; Latin genius) is the name given in ancient literature to an inner voice which, according to tradition, gave philosopher Socrates warning signs to prevent him from making wrong decisions. Socrates considered the originator of these signs to be a deity whom he did not specify. He followed the beckoning voice, which was always given without explanation and which, according to him, always proved to be useful and helpful. If the daimonion remained silent, he interpreted this as approval of his behavior. As he talked about his experiences with the inner advisor, his relationship with the mysterious entity was widely known in his hometown Athens. Opponents accused him of introducing a religious innovation. This accusation contributed to him being sentenced to death and executed in 399 BC.

Anywayz, Typepad is being a total dickweed this evening, so my inner voice has told me it's a bad idea to wait on making the move.  If that godforsaken platform can't even stay up reliably for a few more weeks, I wonder just how much of my old content I'll actually be able to export before The End.

In conclusion: private fucking equity can bite my shiny metal ass.
