I pre-announced it today on Twitter so I thought I’d do the same thing here just to make it a little more “official.”
I purchased the domain for Deck78 (or Deck 78 or deck78 … whatever) today and Deck78 is going to be the kindred spirit of Replosion, my prior failed adventure into owning a business (and may it live in peace).
More information will be coming in the future.
Also, an imaginary cookie to the people who can figure out the reference in the name.
Sorry about the small outage tonight, but I needed to update WordPress and get all of the plugins up and running again.
Thanks!
This site has been updated to WordPress 3.1, so if you see anything strange, just let me know and I’ll try and get it fixed.
Thanks!
It seems that you always need some sort of introductory post to a new blog, and this is my third such blog, so I’ll go ahead and keep it as brief as possible.
First, the reasoning behind the change back to WordPress. It really comes down to two things: Tumblr’s recent outages and the fact that I was already paying for a cloud server from Rackspace (I’ve been really happy with them). That was enough to bring about the change. I still have access to my Tumblr blog at http://tumblr.bobmartens.net and I will be keeping that up indefinitely or at least until I find the time to transfer over my stuff from there to here.
Second, and maybe most important, is what this place is going to hopefully become. Honestly, I don’t really know. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get back into writing some more, but it is hard to say how much time I will really have. Until then, expect some changes here as time permits, but don’t expect too many or for them to happen too often.
That’s about it at the moment. Thanks!
