I’m relocating my blog to my web site at http://www.alephnaught.com/Blog, at the implied advice of a friend who’s opinion I trust. I’ve installed WordPress there, and it was fast and easy to set up. I’ve got a free template installed and I’ve ordered the Dummies book – later I’ll get a better template and clean things up.
So this will be the last post here.
I’ve still got to finish moving the images over to my blog, then I’ll start adding some new entries. Most will be in the past, for example some of things we’ve done in Los Angeles. I’ll probably add a page to my travelogue for our trip out here (we drove from Chicago, IL, to Westlake Village, CA).
I haven’t posted anything new, although so much has changed in my life lately. Why?
Turns out the company (and author) of the blogging software I’d been using, iblog, has left it in a semi-finished state that won’t run on Leopard (MacOS X 10.5); I’ll never buy anything from them again and suggest you don’t either. I’ve spent a couple weeks deciding what to do, looking around, and getting bummed out over how much I’d have to do to move my blog someplace else.
I found an online article on converting to wordpress from iblog, so I found a copy of agitprop (the original homepage for this is gone, but this link seems to work right now), converted my older iblog (no link provided for iblog – they don’t deserve it) entries using that and then copy-pasted the rest of the entries in.
Well, I’m on WordPress and like it so far. I no longer worry about the format of the blog (and I really don’t care for that kind of CSS work anyway) and get to spend more time writing (which is one thing I wanted from doing a blog).
I’m going to switch the links on my web site now, and away we go!
Title: The Good That Men Do (Star Trek: Enterprise)
Author: Andy Mangels, Michael A. Martin
Mass Market Paperback: 464 pages
Publisher: Star Trek (February 1, 2007)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0743440013
ISBN-13: 978-0743440011
The first (and as far as I can tell only) pulp fiction book based on the Star Trek: Enterprise TV series. It uses a technique familiar to that series – going forward in time and telling a story in the past, in this case that Trip, the chief engineer on Enterprise, secretly survived his apparent death and became a spy planted in the Romulan empire.
I liked the book generally, and I’m glad I read it. I wish they’d write some more; I think this period (pre-Federation) takes a look at some serious issues that had been resolved by the time of the later series.
