Yes, this is yet another boring blog with posts about my cat and what I had for dinner. There’s still a heap of improvements I want to make, but it looks like I’m finally ready to start putting some content up here.

This is the latest incarnation of a long line of homepages, going all the way back to one I had to learn Vi to create at Auckland University in 1997. (I’m writing the draft for this post in Vim).

For posterity my old HTML blog from 2003-2004 is still here. I moved my website to being 100% wiki after that, but now it’s back to a blog/gallery/wiki mix.

Time for some acknowledgments. The blog is powered by WordPress, the gallery is running Gallery2, and the wiki is running the MoinMoin wiki engine. This stylish theme is the Stardust WordPress theme by Tom Baldovino hacked mercilessly to make it work for the whole site. And I’m running inside a Xen virtual machine which is running Linux (Fedora) with Apache, MySQL, PHP, Python, with a touch of Javascript thrown in, all hosted by SliceHost.

So welcome to my blog.  It’ll be boring, but no one is forcing you to read it.
