After running for several years with MT, I have changed to using WordPress. The main reason was that it’s one of the precondigured apps offered by my hosting provider, and I was sick to doing MT upgrades.

I had to disable comments a little while back, due to excessive blog spam (the alternative was to have my ISP kick me off their servers). I’ve now made some changes to MT to do the CAPTCHA filtering earlier – hopefully it’s a bit nicer now. We’ll see.

I’ve been thinking of doing this for a while, largely as a journalling exercise for myself. I’m not writing for an audience here, so I’m not concerned with what other people think about what I put down here. 🙂
I don’t know if I’ll keep this up; only time will tell. But I know I’ve got a few things to say here.
