I'm Back

Hi. I'm back. I'm sorry about that. I had a nasty run-in with a group of Brazilian hackers. Two months, a few defaced web pages, new blogging software, and I'm finally back online. I think I'm going to be more diligent about backups (Skinny, a "backup" is something that is used by system administrators to recover from catastrophic failures such as a disk crash).

The old blogging software I was using had some problems. I've switched to Wordpress. This is what I like about Wordpress so far:

• categories -- I can assign more than one category to a post.


• list management -- You know, that stuff on the right sidebar. Links, blogs, movies, etc.


• cool administrative interface -- You'll see it if you have a user id.


• more secure...I think.


• easier to install/administrate


• better comment/splog filtering

I'm having a problem with the RSS feeds. It looks like some of the characters are not encoded properly.  Stay tuned.

2006.08.21, update: If you want an RSS feed, use the link in the sidebar.

I'm not sure if I like the new look...so that may be changing.
