Might have to come back to this old place.

Facebook, which had been sucking me away from blogging, is just too weird anymore*. I’ve thought of changing the Ping to a different format, keeping the old stuff archived (I even made an archive of it all with wget), but I’m not sure what format I’d want to change to. I was really into the idea of a static site generator for a while, or something uber-simplistic like blosxom or one of the blosxom-like things out there. (There was one particular one that I liked but whose name I can’t remember…)

I dunno though. I could just leave it the way it is.

I hope this is temporary.  I hope he’s OK.  I really like his work so much.  And he seems like such a great guy.

Breaking radio silence to say — yay!  New emacs!

Will probably set Aquamacs aside to play with it, though I may find myself going back to the really-quite-wonderful Aquamacs eventually.
