New Blogging Platform

Alive again

So, back to blogging. I've tried to run a blog since the dawn of time, more or

less, and it's always been a bit of a failure, partly for lack of anything

interesting to write about, and partly because blogging software is uniformly

awful. Typo, Wordpress, Zotonic, various home-grown bits and pieces... always a

hassle to install, maintain and publish to.

The latest attempt is also slightly home-grown, but based on the go.tools/blog

codebase (via hints in goblog), which is reasonably pleasant. TODO: styling.

Really TODO.

No point having a blog if I'm not going to put anything on it (again), of

course. My old articles will be imported soon (they remind me how to do DNSSEC,

so I really do need them), but I'm hoping to embark on a project that's been

sat around in my head for a little while now. Working title: *The Capitalist

Pig-Dog Blog*. There's also a general election coming up, which is making me

want to write things, as ever. The state of housing is also still in my head.

Prices make me angry, co-operative housing models make me feel better.

Watch this space. Possibly forever, but hopefully not.
