Redirection has begun

Posted by Jon Renaut Mon, 28 May 2007 13:49:00 GMT

If you've previously linked to a post here, the link now redirects to the corresponding page that has been moved to Complaint Hub. I will be slowly phasing out this blog, because it's been more trouble than it's worth to keep up two of them.

So, update your bookmarks (Although this URL will redirect to the other one eventually) and resubscribe to the RSS. You don't want to miss anything!

Combining this blog with my other one

Posted by Jon Renaut Mon, 28 May 2007 03:13:00 GMT

I had one blog. Then I thought it would be cool to have a second. Then I realized that it wasn't cool. It was a pain. So now I'm going back to one.

If you aren't already familiar with it, it's Complaint Hub. All the posts from here have already been moved over. The comments have not yet been moved. I hope to do that soon, but it's kind of a pain to translate Typo to Wordpress, so it's slow going.

I will continue to try and make this transition as seamless for my readers as possible.

About this blog

Posted by Jon Renaut Mon, 29 Jan 2007 02:46:00 GMT

Just over twenty-four hours ago, my wife and I had our contract accepted on a shiny new condo on Harvard Street, right in the middle of the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington, DC. We should be moved in by the end of next month. We are, obviously, very excited.

So, this blog is a few things. First, it's a test of Typo, blogging software written in Ruby on Rails. I've been meaning to try it, mostly because Ruby is more fun than PHP, which is what Wordpress is written in. This is a trial run for switching all of Complaint Hub over to Ruby.

Second, it's preliminary motivation to get more involved in the community. I'm moving into the city, into a real community, and I don't want to sit around and watch. I want to be a part of my new community, and this is to start the ball rolling.

So, we'll see what happens. I plan to update the layout here and play around and do all sorts of geek stuff. With all of the house-related stuff, I don't know how quickly that will happen, but it will happen.

Anyway, keep watching this space. My next post will be more substantive.
