Welcome to my new blog – it’ll have all the sort of interesting ‘tech’ GNU/Linux/OSS/Who-abbreviated-this posts that I’d be most interested in reading about, the odd technical snippet that I’ve found to be indispensable, and maybe an article or two about plants will creep in here as well. I also give you my word that I will try to only post items of quality here. Although as they say a man’s word is never done….

Expect puns, and other plays. On words. And satire parody.

I know it’s an eccentric, indefensible position to have, but reading other people’s blogs has made me (1) dislike wordpress and (2) gain the belief that if you’re writing a technical computer blog and can program, then you should write your own blogging engine. Or at least change wordpress enough so that it doesn’t feel like wordpress. This blog uses it’s own custom ruby blogging program written with Camping which I’ll describe ad nauseum in a later post.

I’ve got a lot of pent up “creative” computer related writing sitting in various text files on my hard drives and now in wiki’s all over the world. So, as it looks to me now, there will be a whole lot of new technical posts on this blog in the coming months.

Enjoy!
