This is the new home of my weblog, after my sadly neglected attempt to use LiveJournal. While I love the LJ site and its community, I was never inspired to post there. Why? I think it was mostly because I could never decide whether I wanted my journal to be public and anonymous, or private and personal. As a result, I could never decide what content to post. Also, I think I don't have enough friends who use LJ to make the access controls and aggregation worth the effort to put up with the slow slow slow site. (Yes, I am a paid member. It's still painful.)

This time around, I'm using Blosxom, which is CGI blog software done the True UNIX Way. So far, I quite like it, although many people have recommending using MovableType instead.

One of the nifty features of Blosxom is the namespace, which lets readers filter my posts based on the category I assign. Then those who only want to read about my new toys can use the URL http://www.litech.org/~lutchann/weblog/tech/toys/, which excludes posts about sysadmining and the flash movie of the day.

Soon I'll install a plugin that allows comments to be posted, too.
