So Microsoft just launched a new engine, Bing. Unfortunately, thanks to Josh Porter’s recent tweet, I can’t help but think of Ned Ryerson’s big scene in Groundhog Day. So, for any other folks who are having the same problem, I’ve created this mp3 to give you a quick Ned Ryerson fix.

And for those that have checked out Bing’s travel search, is it just me or did they completely rip off Kayak?
Hello world, indeed! That’s the title of the default post that came with new shiny new Wordpress install. Indeed, I’ve made the switch from Nucleus CMS to Wordpress, and moved it to a shared server, rather than something in my basement.
Nucleus CMS was great for what I needed at the time. I wanted to see if I could get something open source set up on a computer at home and use it to host a blog. I even tried Wordpress at the time, but because I was hosting on a Windows machine, the Wordpress install had some issues. If I recall, I also tried Textpattern, but Nucleus was the only one that managed to fully install and work properly using PHP on IIS.
50 some posts later, I realized that if I had any inclination of continuing I couldn’t keep going with the same system and same hosting environment. Unfortunately, I’m lazy. Yes, a procrastinator. So, I stopped writing and never did anything to set myself up anywhere else.
Well, I’ll cut myself a little slack. It’s not like I’ve been sitting around doing nothing this past year…
We had a baby!
And built a house.
However, it’s a new year and it’s time to stop the excuses. Recently inspired by Douglas Bowman’s new design, I figured I’d get off my ass and at least get myself set up on the current hotness of Wordpress.
Now, I’m new to Wordpress, so it might be a bit of a mess around here for a while. I managed to get all my old posts imported (sorry for spamming your feed readers with that…) by generating an RSS feed with all of the old posts out of Nucleus. I’ve lost comments, but I’m ok with that—I’m not sure comments will be the method of feedback here anyway.
So yeah, anyway, the point here was simply to apologize for the RSS spamming and let the few of you out there know that I’m still alive, and with any luck I might be more active around here. And if I’m not, I’ll leave you with one more reminder as to the likely reason why:
And I’m totally cool with that.
