You’ve probably noticed I’ve migrated much of my old trollcode.com blog over to here. The idea is to get back into blogging, but instead of using code that I rolled myself, I’m moving to a more standard blog engine.
Standardizing has its pros and cons; on the downside, there’s loss of control (I wanted that icon RIGHT THERE!), but on the upside, there’s interoperability, ease of installation and maintenance, and tons of existing plug-ins and themes. Finally, since my job has me extending the capabilities of wikis, it’s not long before I get to extend some of Wordpress’ capabilities for some form of pay. Kind of a win-win right to the bank. Well, at least a small piggy bank…
So, I’m back to blogging (though I maintain that wikis are where long-term digital online thoughts should reside) because I think it’ll be fun to revisit a diary-type system online. I get so many ideas in a day, I figure I should share some of the better ones. Or at least the ones that you might draw some use from.
So I’m back into the fold of using someone else’s code to get my point across. This is why it doesn’t belong on trollcode anymore, which is where I want to keep my more experimental programming projects. This howlingmime site is all about me as a performative (and sometimes constative) person, including my online sel{f,ves}, juggling, storytelling, game mastering, strumming, beating, and telling like it is (for now).
Thanks for reading.
Email me with responses; I’ve shut off comments, since this is my space. Set up your own if you want to post ephemera that end up sticking to the web for a long time…
Note: speaking of sticking, it seems my import from xanga (where I’d mirrored trollcode) to this site caused some strange behavior with categories. Ignore tehm for now. I’m more into tags anyway.
