Moved to WordPress

For those of you who do not follow this blog through feedburner you may have noticed I have moved from Calabro to WordPress. I decided that I wanted to spend more time blogging then administering. I originally wrote Calabro as an exercise to learn Python and kept using it because it was meeting my needs as a simple blog engine. Which is pretty good since I used it for almost 2 years, but after a few major spam attacks and having to rebuild my slice a few times I decided that I needed to go with a more mature and robust blog engine.

<?php

echo 'Hello WordPress!';

?>

I have not moved over all of my old posts to WordPress yet, something I plan to do this weekend, so if anyone has bookmarks to any old articles you will get a 404 for a few days.

The nice thing of moving to WordPress is all the cool plug-gins and the kick ass community. Also, I now have a free slice to hack the next great startup ;-)

Twitting

This year I want to start using Twitter more, there are some very cool and interesting people on twitter. I think the main reason I have not used twitter as much is because I do not spend a lot of time on my phone and opening twitter when I want to say something seems like to much work. So I am trying out Twidget which is a simple OS X dashboard widget. I am thinking that when I want to say something, F12 + random thought should be easy enough..we will see.
