Things That Must Be Done Sun 22 Mar 2009
A list, in no particular order, of Things That Must Be Done: Fix categories: I’ve got far too many categories in both of my blogs, and now that I have tag functionality (see below) most of them are completely unnecessary....
Famous Last Words Thu 19 Mar 2009
No sooner had I posted my last entry than my host’s server decided to throw a wobbly, rendering my Movable Type installation unusable. A fresh start with a clean install of MT 4 failed to solve the problem (which I...
Behold... the Uberfeed Fri 11 May 2007
Thanks to the magic of Yahoo! Pipes, I’ve cobbled together a single RSS feed combining my Macrolog and Microlog with a whole bunch of other goodies, from MetaFilter comments to Vox blog posts and regular Twitter updates....
Self, Aggregated Thu 20 Jul 2006 | 6 Comments
Rex at Fimoculous.com recently relaunched his site with a brand new look, and a brand new approach to blogging — intended, he says, to signal the notion that “the future of blogging is self-aggregation”: In a sense, we’re going back...
Attention Feed Consumers Fri 04 Nov 2005
If you’re reading this through a news aggregator, you might like to know that I’m updating the feeds for this site to match the changes I’ve made to the weblog. Which means that the feed you’re using now, in whatever...
Reinventing My Wheel Fri 04 Nov 2005
I mentioned reinvention, didn’t I? One of my goals for this revision process was to find away to entwine my two weblogs together into a single strand, like it was in the beginning. I was disturbed by my neglecting of...
Remake/Remodel Tue 01 Nov 2005 | 3 Comments
So my restlessness got the better of me. I liked the last design (which I only finished a month ago) but it was a bit too much. There was something a bit bland and staid about it, too. But above...
The Magic Number Mon 01 Nov 2004 | 2 Comments
So this weblog is three years old today. Three! Still a baby, as far as I’m concerned. Still lots more growing to do. Lots to improve. One day I might even get the hang of it. You never know. To...
Regarding Notes & Queries Tue 10 Aug 2004

Some minor improvements to this here website as of late: == I've been sprucing up my Features section over the last few days. Just to make it a bit more, I don't know, individual. Right now there's a rejigged Bookmarks...
Alterations Wed 19 Feb 2003
If you're a regular visitor you may have noticed a few subtle alterations to the appearance of this site. Nothing big, mind you, just some minor improvements, as I like to think of them: Now that I've upgraded to Movable...
A New Beginning... Sun 02 Feb 2003
This is my first post using Movable Type. It took me a good couple of hours to install, what with the setting of server permissions and such, but everything seems to be running smoothly. (Thanks to Michal for the assistance,...
Legalities Sun 22 Dec 2002
I've been worried about legal matters recently. Specifically, matters of libel, relating to this weblog. Reading this piece has prompted me to actually take some action. You never know, someone might actually be reading this, and some of the...
One Year Old Fri 01 Nov 2002
Wow. My weblog is officially one year old today. I didn't think I'd keep it up this long, but blogging is definitely habit forming. I'm here for the long haul. You won't get any 'I have to get away...
Three Years Old Today Tue 15 Oct 2002
Three years old today. This site has certainly come a long way. (If you were around when I started it, you'd know just how far; I mean, orange on black? What was I thinking?)...
Hello World Thu 01 Nov 2001
