#### Alive again
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, back to blogging. I've tried to run a blog since the dawn of time, more or
|
||
|
|
less, and it's always been a bit of a failure, partly for lack of anything
|
||
|
|
interesting to write about, and partly because blogging software is uniformly
|
||
|
|
awful. Typo, Wordpress, Zotonic, various home-grown bits and pieces... always a
|
||
|
|
hassle to install, maintain and publish to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The latest attempt is also slightly home-grown, but based on the go.tools/blog
|
||
|
|
codebase (via hints [here](https://blog.toshnix.com/goblog)), which is reasonably
|
||
|
|
pleasant. TODO: styling. Really TODO.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### The future
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No point having a blog if I'm not going to put anything on it (again), of
|
||
|
|
course. My old articles will be imported soon (they remind me how to do DNSSEC,
|
||
|
|
so I really do need them), but I'm hoping to embark on a project that's been
|
||
|
|
sat around in my head for a little while now. Working title: *The Capitalist
|
||
|
|
Pig-Dog Blog*. There's also a general election coming up, which is making me
|
||
|
|
want to write things, as ever. The state of housing is also still in my head.
|
||
|
|
Prices make me angry, co-operative housing models make me feel better.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Watch this space. Possibly forever, but hopefully not.
