First Post!

After a great deal of messing around with various packages, I’ve finally come to the
conclusion that I need to run my blog on my own server. Here’s the initial post that I
did on Blogger before that realization:

Well, it’s quite clear that I need a blog. For someone as opinionated as I am, not having a blog limits my potential ranting audience far too much.

But as a techie, I want the fine-tuned control that can only be achieved by hosting a blog yourself (not to mention the bragging rights). So, my account and blog here is temporary, possibly to be superceded by something else — if I ever decide on a package to use. Ah well, such is the life of the technological perfectionist.

Welcome to the blog, and good luck to me!

Update – Jan 17, 2008: I’m still running this on my own server, but I’ve moved over to WordPress. WordPress might have tons of potential plugins to manage, but at least the basic functionality doesn’t require as much tweaking as Bloxsom.
