Transition.
[ Posted by Dan on May 07, 2004 | 2 Comments ]

Much time and effort on this over the last couple of years has migrated from working and video gaming to working, parenting, and video gaming. For now, this leaves no time for blogging, but I have plans to keep posting items that I want to remember for more than a day or two and other plans to build the site up as a résumé platform.

I don't think I'm going to lose my job soon (but who knows) and really just want to assemble most bits of work and related materials into one cohesive unit. In the near term my plans are to...

• migrate to Movable Type 3.0 (comment icons will be broken for a while)
• get the blog off the home page
• maintain the archives and comments as is
• retire the Communiblog
• redesign the main interface

and to not post very much for a while.

I have some usability of web forms interactions questions I want to post and some javascript that's worth posting. But that will wait until I have time, and with a first birthday coming up for my daughter, that's not the time.

Many thanks to the regular comment posters, and fuck you very much to the comment spammers.

See you soon/later.

 

		as my blog daddy, i will definitely miss it. i will particularly miss the communiblog--an excellent idea, i wish i had new stuff and time to post about it. funny, 'cos just tonight i was posting about how i was thinking about removing my blog, particularly since i had to deal with de-spamming over 150 comments (in one day!) decided to check this site tonight (first off 'cos it kept throwing an exception getting the RSS feed) 'cos i hadn't visited in a while. -Posted by jon on May 26, 2004 02:50 AM

Comment posting has been turned off because I don't have enough time and will to deal with the constant comment spamming. I'm very sorry and will fix this sometime soon (soon = before 2004 ends).
