Another relaunch, I guess. I’ve been writing online since August 2002 or so, bouncing from LiveJournal to Movable Type to TypePad to Movable Type to TypePad to Vox to Movable Type to TypePad (think that’s right). I lost about a year’s worth of entries at one point, but most of the stuff from davextreme has been moved over to Vox, where hopefully Six Apart will do a better job at not screwing up the data than I have. It’s neat to have a running archive of what one has written, though, so one day I might end up importing it all back here.
Weblog software does great for proving handy templates in which to stick text, but I’ve always disliked that you’re stuck with one template for everything you’ve ever written. Right now I’m using a very simple white page, but I’ve toyed around with flashier layouts, and I feel like the old stuff should be able to hang around looking like it did when it was originally published. Importing older content into here seems wrong, in a way. Plus, whoever goes back and reads people’s old posts? Some of it is almost embarrassing. But I guess that’s part of growing up.
Anyway, here’s stuff from August 2007 onward. Poke around the web and you can probably find the older stuff if you really want.
