So many ways to stay connected

14 years ago - #technology

I'm putting together an exit strategy for Facebook. I love the fact that I'm contact with smart, fun people that I rarely get to see. Unfortunately, the constant privacy concerns are...concerning me. I tried Twitter for many months, but the 140 character limit really gets to me sometimes. And I have been unable to get TweetDeck truly integrated into my weekly routine, so Twitter has fallen by the wayside. I tried Tumblr, which I ay still fall back on, but it updates Facebook in an odd way.

So now I'm trying Posterous. Which is designed to be the ultimate tool for updating your various feeds everywhere. We'll see if it's a decent payoff.

Some changes to the site...

I've been steadily making changes to the site. This weekend I had some time to really go to town. It seems like I really didn't do all that much - I don't know where the time goes when I program. I suppose it's because I use my own site as a test ground for changes, so when I work on something, I may spend hours going down a path that I realize was not the right way to go. I chalk it all up to learning experiences.

The Great Migration Begins!

How many years have I had my old site? I think it's been at least 8 years. It's been time for an overhaul for a while now, but the task was much bigger than I could have imagined. I did a quick page count of my site and found several hundred pages that had to be migrated. Some of them I could migrate automatically, but the vast majority would have to be ported over by hand.

Some Hiccups

The new blog has been up a while. There's still no progress on moving over all the old content to the new site. It's feeling like a herculean task right now. And I found a few hiccups.
