So Much Wit

Hello Again, World!

Friday, 5 February 2010, around eight in the morning.

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.
