We’re all fully aware of the number of blog posts, littered about the internet, which start with some variation of the phrase “I know I haven’t updated in a while…” I’ll spare you.
(see what I did there?)
My life is suddenly, rapidly changing, and I’m in desperate need of getting things said. Of course, due to the nature of these thoughts and feelings, I’m gonna need to start posting a lot more “private” entries, not for public (or friends’) consumption. But I need to write. And if I just go ahead and start posting, I’ll eventually find a way to write my thoughts in such a way that I don’t offend any readers (I’m sure the whopping two or three of you are picky buggers).
Anyhow, public posts will hopefully be coming soon. I’ll also be kinda bifurcating this blog, separating the technology posts from the personal ones. I’ve already got categories set up, but I’d like to have a more distinct “separation of church and state.” Like separate RSS feeds and everything. I’ve just got a constant stream of ideas and observations that are currently either being mishandled/ignored, or posted to some crappy forum or comment thread where the point is guaranteed to be lost on roughly everyone. I’d rather hurl the words into the void, and if people stumble upon it, and enjoy it, and keep coming back for more, then I win.
I recently moved punkassjim.com off of my old host (too much a pain in the ass to deal with), and moved it onto a server that I control, a Power Mac G5 that sits about 15 feet from me at my office. It’s not the most reliable box (unresolved mismanagement by a third-party), but I have 100% control, and can install whatever the hell I want. I’ll worry about reliability if/when I ever get real traffic. Anyway, along with the new digs, I’ll be setting aside some time very soon to upgrade my WordPress install, dust off my checklist for new theme creation, and put some creativity into it.
Big plans, stay tuned.
