Or at least with more consistency. I’m firing up the old blog again after leaving it fallow for a couple of years. I’m finding I miss committing thought to text, tossing ideas out into the ether for people to see. Or not. It matters little to me whether or not I have a huge following; I just want my own soap box from which to yammer again.
Speaking of ideas, that’s something I’d like to focus on more this time around. A lot of my past blogging was regurgitation of things I’d run across on other people’s blogs. For that, I’ve got del.icio.us and various IRC channels; I don’t need a blog devoted to sharing the latest internet memes with friends as they occur. I plan to post more things that come from myself, including a smattering of art, most of it likely to be scribbles and in-progress work.
And this wouldn’t really be me if I weren’t also using this as an excuse to screw around with web technologies. I’ve already moved everything over from Movable Type to WordPress, and I’ve got Big Plans for other bits, like a Rails-based art portfolio. There are web templates to make, mod_rewrite rules to write, plugins to install, and all manner of things to make me feel productive as I bang away at my little digital hobby.
I’ve also switched to another domain name. Tribblescape hasn’t seemed evocative of “me” for a while now, and I’m really sick of typing it. So I registered nyerm.com. Easy to type, reasonably simple to remember, and onomatopoeic — it’s hard to go wrong with a domain named after a sound effect.
So to anyone who’s reading: thank you, and welcome.
