Keep on truckin’

Friday, February 5, 2010 3:23 PST -08:00   News  


I honestly thought I’d reached the end with p2pnet, but I’ve been shaking trees non-stop and yesterday afternooon my wife, Liz, and I learned it’s 99% certain that we’ve managed to secure a loan which should keep us going for another three or four months or so.

That’ll give us breathing space, and we have a couple of ideas on how to earn enough to keep ourselves, and the site, going when the $$ runs out.

Should I be telling you this in public? Should I be telling you this at all?

I think so.

“I really miss doing what I’ve been doing for all these years,” I said to kcb19892000 on Wednesday. And it’s the truth.

p2pnet isn’t a hobby or a commercial site. It’s here to  carry “news, stories, features and commentaries on digital media, distributed computing and associated technologies and events which haven’t been spun, filtered and pre-digested by vested corporate interests,” as I say in the About section.

“It places special emphasis on freedom of speech, P2P and sharing” and something which has been driven powerfully home to me over the past few days is: I’m not alone. A lot of readers aren’t merely hurting, they’re having serious difficulties as well.

But they’re not giving up.

When I heard from kcb19892000, I also heard from Bill Hudson, a friend who’s a singer/song writer in New York.

“I know at times the strongest voices come not from the powerful but from folks like us,” he said. “The best music always seemed to be coming from the worst of times. And people will always need that.”

So here we go again, but this time I’ll make you a solid, cast-iron promise:

I promise there’ll be no more posts saying p2pnet is closing. The number of stories may go up and down, or even stop for a while, but the site will stay online.

Because it isn’t mine, it’s ours.

I’ll keep on truckin’ with p2pnet because  I believe in it, and because a lot of you guys believe in it too.
