The Occasional Solipsist

In case you haven't noticed, I've just updated my blog to use Blogger, rather than put up with the continuous headaches of administering my Movable Type install. And with the recent news that Six Apart is now charging for use of and support for its MT products, it wasn't a hard choice.

Its a little less geeky using Blogger; any monkey could set one of these up. And at least the constant headaches of maintaining my MT install reminded me that I was doing something that not every user could. But it was those same headaches that made me decide to just shitcan the whole thing and move to a hands-free sort of platform.

Now I can concentrate more on using my time blogging for actually writing (or not writing, as it were) and less on administering a lousy product.

So over the next little while I'll be migrating the rest of my few hundred posts here. And at least now, I can actually claim annonymity. Not much chance of getting Dooced if no one knows who you are.

And maybe that same annonymity will allow me to express myself more, not that I do a lot of holding back as it is.

Hmmm, is this how Stern felt when he went over to satellite?
