I went and lived in a monastery for a little over a year. Then started something new. Couldn't stay away for long.

Wow, where was that? Sounds like a fascinating experience. Did you cut off from tech altogether for that period?

It was near Redding, CA. Unfortunately the monastery needed a website built for them so I spent quite a bit of time working online. I couldn't escape it. But building and maintaining a website for a few hundred users was much more relaxing then building and maintaining one for tens of millions.

Was it http://www.monasteryofstjohn.org/? I grew up there (the town not the monastery).

I was a user, still have it embedded on my wedding site (though dead): http://dovandrebe.com/. Hadn't followed what came of it/you. Thanks for sharing your journey!

It is cool to still run into Playlist users even after all these years.
