you’d think with all the free time – (site was down from Monday around noon, and not back up til Friday afternoon (actually, that Friday post was up for about 30 minutes in the wee hours of Friday morning, until I messed up a password / wp-config file) ) – I’d work on some posts, some scans, some organization… well, unlike previous outages, I had NO ACCESS to the wordpress dashboard panel to work on drafts; but, the good news was that the site itself (www.bjland.ws – go ahead, click, it’s me 10+ years ago – any of you ever enter through the front door, or are you all…. I digress) where was I? The site itself was working, but not the “blog” itself – which is, of course, probably over +90% of the content, and where new stuff generally goes.

And since I just get basic hosting, getting help from tech folks meant emails, waiting hours, more emails, and meanwhile I did some cleaning up of old files, but also may have delayed the recovery by some mistakes I made by going too fast out of frustration.

Many thanks to folks who contacted me via email or social media to alert or wonder what was up – and sometimes the site has gone down without me being aware – but in any case THANK YOU.

so – here, up top is the wonderful Rodney James helping out (Lee) Ryder (“elder”) from Tightropes No. 1 magazine – wish I could locate the film! Below, 2 pics I am not happy about, as I hate the insets – I just like clean images on this here porn-crazed rambling blog, but I don’t know basic photo editing stuff like how to white out the insets without it looking awful – this is where you cum in. If you think you can give a helping had and edit for me, click each image which will take you to a must larger file size of them – and you know howto reach me – bjland – gmail – make sense?

oh, yeah – hard to find pics of Karl Hansen (seen here playing doctor with Derrick Stanton) – may well be his only film, so would love to have “cleaner” versions of these

exhausticated

a lot more work to do, and chances this will go down again – but it’s been an exhausting, disheartening few days.

does FUNKY stuff in both Firefox and Chrome browsers! freezes links, or takes you to a non-BJland page!

I find it slightly amusing the props used for male photography – these from AMG – the “bend over the barrel” and the “hold that heavy manly tool” poses; but “amused” gives way to “mmmmmmm” as you take in the hefty thighs, etc., of this unidentified model – shown off with the cliche’ pose, right?

I don’t usually single out our readers for a post – in fact, I doubt it’s ever happened. Here I am on a dreary Saturday, trying to get some work done, scanning a magazine, and I get interrupted with a comment “pending” in my wordpress admin page. Oh, look at that – someone thinks he’s solved a great gay porn mystery!! But then goes on and on, and on (and on) with zillions of paragraphs, and bazillions of links (as helpful as they may be) and had to do the “I’m better than everyone else dance” …. But somehow the program knew to put that comment on hold, awaiting my approval. Well how ’bout that??! Imagine knowing more than anyone else, but yer little typing fingers are all tied up?

– honestly, wouldn’t that be just awful??

from In Touch – 1979 calendar – at least the first month lines up with 2024. I like that the traditional hole at the top for hanging didn’t go through his head – classy!

edit: OK, OK – while I don’t want to commit to posting the monthly pics (see comments) – here ya go – 1979 In Touch calendar zip file
