Welcome to the new site!
Welcome! I’ve finally moved from my old weblog to my own domain. I’ve been wanting to start a bliki for a while now but hadn’t found the right software and haven’t had time to write my own from scratch.
Last week I discovered Mark Ghosh’s excellent work integrating ErfurtWiki with WordPress, which, while not a bliki per se, is a pretty good compromise. Wordpress has all the features of modern weblog software while ErfurtWiki allows the easy creation of pages outside the weblog for things like Tachy.
Installation was surprisingly straightforward & I now have a system up and running I’m comfortable with. About the only real annoyance is that the wiki pages use wiki markup, whereas the wordpress entries use HTML, but that’s not too big of a deal. I also wonder if some readers might get confused since the wiki pages and the wordpress pages have the same visual style (although the wiki pages don’t have the weblog sidebar).
Speaking of blogging, I’ve become fascinated with Artificial Life & 3D simulations over the last few months, and have been spending a great deal of time building a foundation for further research into both areas using Objective Caml and OpenGL. More on that soon…

Thanks guys! It’s good to be back. It’s also fun to be playing around with web stuff again as well, it’s amazing how many quality open source webapps there are out there now.

Okay, I’m a bit behind the curve and just found your stuff here. Hey, at least that gave be a backlog of entries to read. The only problem is you’ve mentioned at least a few things that went right to the Amazon wish list, and I’ve already got too much to read, buy, and study. Anyway, cool to see your stuff here.

Hi Jon. Thanks! Yeah, I know what you mean, I’ve come to the firm conclusion that I’ll never read all the cool books I want to someday get around to. At least not until there’s some sort of brain-downloading option. I just noticed your journal now has an RSS feed. Cool! Looking forward to keeping up with your adventures.
