So Much Wit

So here’s one for you: what do you call a DIY blog­ging engine that has all the fea­tures of Word­Press, but isn’t WordPress?

A com­plete waste of my time.

It’s a lit­tle bit of a bum­mer for me, actu­ally, but after years and years of being “in the process” of cre­at­ing my own blog­ging engine (since high school, really), I finally real­ized a cou­ple of core truths:

1. I’m not in the blog-​​engine-​​writing busi­ness, so this should not be my focus; and
2. “Work­ing on” the blog­ging engine was really just a way to avoid actu­ally hav­ing to cre­ate some­thing. After all, I clearly can’t build cool soft­ware or do inter­est­ing research with­out first hav­ing a pub­lish­ing plat­form by which to doc­u­ment the effort, right?

This is all just to say that I’ve moved over to Word­Press, and in a mat­ter of hours had more than I could ever want in a pub­lish­ing plat­form. I still need to add sec­tions about my research inter­ests and pro­gram­ming projects, but that will be done in time. Now, hav­ing got­ten this far, it’s time for bed.
