Moving blogs yet again (blog.majesticseacreature.com)

Hi folks,

This is a one time announcement of where the bulk of my Ruby writing
will be in the future.

You’ll be able to find it at: http://blog.majesticseacreature.com

Please be advised that I’m aware my blogging engine is totally lame,
but it makes me happy, which means I might be more inclined to write
more / better.

This won’t be limited to Ruby discussion, but it should stay fairly
technical. When I started my other blog, I never guessed not everyone
would like random rants on religion, politics, and the occasional bad
poetry.

This one will be more on topic and possibly more relevant. :slight_smile:

PS: I know I move my blog too frequently, so I’ll try to at least stay
at the URL mentioned above for a while. :slight_smile:

PPS: Sorry for the noise to those uninterested.

If possible, have the old site (and feeds) issue an HTTP 301 Moved
Permanently header with the new URLs.

The comment system (or the lack thereof) is a major issue here – I’ve
been down a similar road myself, and if it weren’t for that I may have
stayed there. It’s fun… but then again, is it a good use of one’s
time?

I always fancied it this way - the simpler, the better. If it is
somewhat elegant while staying simple, it is almost perfect. :slight_smile:

The only thing I really hate about comment systems in general are
certain type of captchas (not all).

Do you have any idea for a solution? – A simpler, better comment
system?

None of them have quite died, just been re-purposed, or are so dead no
one is looking anymore :slight_smile:
In the future, I’ll just do that rather than make the announcement :slight_smile:

Oh, thanks for suggesting this Tim, I’ve integrated it. I’ll put it
out crazy fast if I start getting spammed, but it’ll do for now.
