Welcome (back)

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Welcome to the third incarnation of this blog. I’ve been blogging, mostly very badly, for about 7 years. I started on a domino platform but following a move into PHP development in 2003 I moved towards the LAMP platform. I have backups, but I read them and they’re rubbish, so I’m starting over with a clean slate.

Until a couple of months ago I was turning out weak, limp wristed posts about once a month but when my hosting company went West with no warning whatsoever, there I was blogless. Thanks to twitter, flickr, friend feed, linkedIn, and Facebook losing the power to blog is nowhere near as debilitating as it might have been two or three years ago.

So a new host and a new wave of optimisim, plus a scheduled reminder on rtm heralds a new era of blogging from me. So expect the usual load of everyday life crap mixed in with a bit of WordPress, symfony, social networking and the latest from the web.

Now, lets get this blog set up the way I want it…….
