MPH, in his continuing descent into madness, has replaced his blog with a static page. That’s only a little old school. What’s really old school is that the static page is generated via a PHP script from his dot-plan file, which is conveniently written in Markdown.
And you can actually get the markdown version (if you’re on a unix box or the equivalent) by issuing the ‘finger’ command on his username mph at puddingbowl dot org. Truth.

As it changes, new stuff'll be colored or something. Old stuff will slide away, unarchived anywhere but the Overmind.
Wow, I didn’t know *anyone* ran finger daemons anymore. That totally rocks. Scott Yanoff ran his “list” for years in his .plan file.
