That's about right. I forget why I stopped exactly. Maybe it was because my posts were devolving into an annoying sameness and a certain level of self-loathing. Maybe it was because I felt like every post had to have some kind of gravitas. Maybe it was because I was sick of typing the posts, splitting big HTML files, then simulposting the posts to LiveJournal just in case anyone wanted to comment on them.
Well, I'm back. From the technical side, I'm done with reinventing the wheel. Maybe in the RPI days, it was a display of machismo to have everything hand-coded and hosted, but now, I'm going to be content with an established platform that allows for immediate comments. I already like this approach more, and it seems more elegant than LiveJournal was, from the surface anyway.
From the content side, I've decided that each blog post doesn't need to be a catalog of what I did this day/week/month. I've decided I can post about something insignificant. Maybe it's music, maybe it's politics...though I intend to set that up as a separate blog eventually. Just what we need, another right-wing political blog! Maybe it's some Fark thread I found amusing. I just figured, Facebook isn't set up for blogging per se, or at least the Notes feature is a poor approach for something continuous. And if I want to integrate this into the pwn3d.net layout as a whole (which is going to get changed, honestly), I can just parse the RSS feed, which should be just nerdy enough to impress those who really care about blog architecture over content.
That said, here goes nothing. Loyal readers, welcome back. New readers, strap in and enjoy.
