With the previous and long lasting server configuration recently biting the dust (hard),
and my continuation of development divergent from the initial effort beginning in
defiance of logic (if the hard drive imaging effort is unsuccessful then the headway
I've made in the meantime will offer a little comfort from the massive bummer that it
would be), it is an opportune time to try new things, get more esoteric and learn things
deeper than the initial trajectory would've suggested. Something I'd wanted to do since
late 2022 was host web files on removable media - floppy disks being an ideal owing to their
relative solidness in the handling domain - their small capacity posing a welcome challenge
to keep things light and, if not, at least segregated additionally. After my first stride
toward incorporating this "physical media" into the mold failed and I'd essentially blocked
off a large section of a site I'd been working on (by adhering to the necessary disk separation
syntax and redirect screens / directories and making the second volume quite obscure by
requiring direct action of the user (me) to facilitate the access to these files (a screen
would pop up telling you there was a 15 second timer going and that in that window of time
you needed to have the desired disk in Drive A: by its conclusion)), I'd somewhat sworn off
subsequent attempts to try this at least under the then-current effort's banner. I'd regarded
that soft-loss of labored materials the big tragic event up until a week ago - this most recent
deterioration truly Beetlejuician by comparison. Anyhoo, as mistakes happen and I've outlined
my ethos pertaining to the recent sequences, I'll get to what the game plan is - to get working
the BBS-esque physical disk web data storage thing.
