Hello world!

Repurposing the “Hello world!” post not as an introduction post but as a chronological marker. Posts on this blog dated before this one — the morning of 23 August, 2023 — are necroposts. You may be familiar with that term from forums, where it is sometimes used to mean, “posting in a long-dead thread, to the annoyance of other forum users.” In blogging, I’ve seen it defined instead to mean, basically, “accurately dating old writing.”
