Changing Hosts
Due to the seemingly constant barrage of worm attacks on WordPress blogs recently, I’ve decided to move my blogging to WordPress.com’s hosting. I don’t have time to keep up with the patching, maintenance and upgrades of a self-hosted WordPress blog, and I definitely don’t have time to clean up after a worm attack.
Switching to WordPress.com doesn’t make me immune to attack, but these guys get paid to keep the upgrades coming so there’s certainly less of a chance that it will happen. It will also be a significant cost savings for me, since I will no longer have to pay Bluehost for gigabytes of space that I never use.
I’ve already switched Facebook to import from the new site; hopefully this won’t mean that followers on there end up with double-posts, but I’ll keep an eye on it.
36 Hours
It’s sort of amazing how just getting away for 36 hours can really clear your head. Just the shock to the system of suddenly being out of the doldrums of the daily routine is sometimes enough to clear the haze that can sometimes cloud your perspective on life.
One of the things I realized this weekend is that I miss writing, both for myself and for an audience. To that end, I’m relaunching this blog. Again. I know I’ve said it before, but I’m pretty sure of it this time.
Expect a mix of tech, travel, progressive politics and a fair amount of boring drivel to follow. But for now… sleep.
