new blog

About a month ago I started writing a blog in relation to my thoughts on someday develop a new game next to Cantr. Since I did not want to make these ideas public yet, I thought I’d just blog for archival purposes - for myself to keep track of thoughts and links, and for players to read back once the game is up and running. I quickly found myself blogging a lot more than I expected, however, and on subjects varying more and more, albeit all computer / programming related. It feels a bit pointless to blog too much on a password-protected page. Since I used pmWiki as the background tool for the blog, I also implicitly disallowed any comments on posts, never mind things like enabling RSS feeds.

I also decided that it was kind of silly that I had a relatively nice looking blog behind a password-protection, while my own website was starting to look really dated. The design of my old website is already about five years old and I’m bored with it. Besides, since it is written in plain HTML, it is not quite as easy to keep it up-to-date as a wiki or blog style site. And some blogs look really like proper sites. So, I decided to move my old site out of the way, create a new one powered by WordPress, and integrate it with my newly founded blog. You are looking at the result. All the previous entries of my hidden blog have been entered below.
My photo album, for me the most important part of my site, has always been badly integrated with the site itself. WordPress, however, has plugins available to use with Gallery 2. Since my current albums are in Gallery 1, the transition should be relatively easy, and it should be possible to integrate it all nicely into this site. That might take a little while to do, though, so until then you can find my pictures still here.

At the moment of writing I’m also still looking for a nice theme / skin for this site, so be patient and the design should gradually improve …
