Switchover

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

If you’re tracking me on Bloglines or some other blogreader, I’m splitting this blog up into 3 pieces:

  • All my Christian, church and faith-related entries will go here;
  • posts related to software design and development, hardware and other technology will go here, and
  • other stuff into a catchall here.

New blog entries will still be announced via twitter & facebook.

Several reasons, but the precipitator was that this blog has been around for about 3 years and I’ve messed with it so much it was starting to do some very weird things – pieces of admin pages going walkabout; cache acting strangely; stuff like that. So I started fresh, exported everything to the appropriate new blog, and away we go…

Happy reading!

At noon in Quito (on the equator), you step into your time machine. You go back 6 hours. They opened the door at 6am that morning and found your body crushed to a pulp. Bone fragments too tiny to piece back together, and a really big dent in the floor and one wall.

Friday, June 20th, 2008

I’ve been watching the latest Dr. Who series. The First episode this year (after ‘Voyage’) was titled ‘Partners in Crime’ – an Agatha Christie title for the first of her ‘Tommy and Tuppence’ series.
