This blog has moved!

A few days ago I decided that my old blogsite was too "isolated". Although totally self-contained, it lacked the various mechanisms that could be found on proper blogsites.

I set up this blog and moved a couple of months of entries over the next few days.

Yesterday Blogger started crashing. Viewing the site was unaffected, but posting became impossible. All day long this persisted. Finally I took a peek in the support forums and found that...
  • The site is owned by google.
  • Google have apparently not made the site a major priority.
  • The site had a lot of very unhappy users.
So I decided to move out. Fortunately I had not migrated enough material to make it a major undertaking, and moving and removing the couple of dozen posts that were already here was a relatively straightforward matter.

It's a shale really... this site was easier to use and had some neat features... but the best blog in the world is no use if you can't post, so... bye bye Blogger!
