Wordpress to the Rescue
Last year, I embarked on a mission – to code my own blog software so I could say that I coded my own blog software. My hubris got the best of me, though, revealed in a severe lack of friendly blog editing, which kept me from writing the fancy words that I know my internet readers crave.
As a result, I decided to shake things up a bit and install wordpress. It’s – shudder – PHP, but sometimes ol’ Personal Home Page (yes, that’s its etymology!) fits in quite nicely, like when you don’t want to manage a burly Rails stack. Which is All The Time in my case. Don’t get me wrong – I frickin’ love Rails, but as a programmer I’m just not terribly interested in administering anything at all. I can dream about load balancing and memcached server side includes all night, but at the end of the day I’d rather hand the reigns over to someone else (preferably a guy who wears a localhost shirt).
I hope this means my writing juices began to flow again. I believe it’s my duty to flood the internet with as much inanity and alliteration as humanly possible.

Damn, I have one of those shirts.
This is so frigging lame.
Where are the pictures?
Where are the clever, rotating subheadings?
Rather poor.
Rather poor indeed.
