I'm Not Ready to Start This Blog

Fuck it. We'll do it live.

Welcome to the al9000.com blog!

Things to know:

• I've used alanwsmith.com as my website since the 1900's. It's always been formal sounding and more syllables than I'd like. It finally bugged me enough that I bought this one and am moving everything here.

• There's a few thousand pages on alanwsmith.com. Migration is gonna take a while.

• If I keep blogging there, I'll keep putting off the work to migrate here. It's similar to "broken gets fixed, shoddy is forever". Not that the old site is shoddy or broken. It's just that considering it no longer viable pushes me to work here.

So, I'm making the leap. I've got to hand code a lot. Things are barely styled. Links and pages break all the time as I figure out where to put things. But, the basic framework is in place. Enough that I can start putting down words.

As bumpy as it's going to be, I'm looking forward to the ride. Even if it doesn't feel like I'm ready to start.

P.S. I've been posting other content. You can get to it from the home page. It's just not what I consider blog content. Though, the more I'm thinking about what I want to do with the site the less that distinction is going to matter.

P.P.S. I haven't built the RSS feed yet. It's coming soon.
