The bad news is that I'm launching yet again. I suppose this makes the millionth or so incarnation of a blog in some form on this domain. The good news, however, is three-fold.

First, I've put a decent amount of effort into migrating the four or so posts over from the old site, so the content and URLs should still be mostly preserved. Aside from possible aggregator spam and a new look, most of the content I deemed important is here. That said, I did skip posts that were no longer relevant, so some didn't make the cut.

Also, I'm blogging old school now. Part of why I've stopped maintaining the older blogs is that I grew tired of the maintenance. First I had to keep the platform itself updated due to security vulnerabilities. Even with an up-to-date platform there were the plethora of plugins I invariably installed, and no system of which I am aware makes upgrading many of those anything less than painful. Now I'm using Ikiwiki I can edit via the web should I wish, but the whole blog is stored in a Git repository, all the files are text, and a simple commit and push is all that is necessary to update the site. It's so incredibly easy, and I'll be updating much more because of it.

How do I know these aren't just empty words? Because I have three uncommitted drafts ready to post as soon as I've either found the necessary links or have done the things I've claimed in them. Of course, that isn't counting the posts I have planned but haven't yet drafted.

So what's upcoming? I haven't yet written about my work on Spiel here, nor have I written my thoughts on and efforts toward Android accessibility. Stay tuned!

Of course, another blogging frustration is that I have no idea whether the site itself looks decent or hideous. It's mostly stock with a few tweaks to integrate Disqus, and while I'm not exactly trying to win any “best looking site evar!” awards, not looking horrific is also important. Feedback welcome, and while I can't promise to know how to fix it to make it look better, I'll at least try.
