Structured Blogging

I installed the Structured Blogging WordPress plugin, thus the review which preceded this post. I’m very interested in Microformats, particularly for iCal and vCard use, and plan to implement them in an upcoming app at work.

Big move

After much consideration, hestitation and general mixed feelings about the idea, I’ve decided to move into a new blog. This is blog is powered by WordPress. I’ve imported all my old content back to when I started blogging in Conversant in early 2000 (I blogged in Manila for a bit before that).

Welcome to Agile Tortoise

This is my first post on this new domain/blog. I’ve brought over all my content from my old site, and think I’m ready to go. Still getting comfortable with the WordPress theme system, so it’ll probably be a little while until I’m happy with the look and feel of the site, but, here [...]
