The format of a weblog dictates its writing. I’ve tweaked my software so that I can write shorter posts and not feel compelled to Write Substantial Articles every time I want to update the blog.

Rebooting the Blog
Moving to WordPress
I’ve been meaning to move from Blogger to WordPress for some time now. So I finally rolled up my sleeves, opened up a guide, and ran the WordPress install. Even with the guide, it was easy, the biggest piece of work being tweaking Blogger settings in order to import old Blogger content. That didn’t take much time either. 700+ posts spread over 4 years, imported without a hitch — great going! Awesome work from the WordPress folks.
WordPress in its default configuration generates every page dynamically, something I wish to avoid. Until I take a good look at the Staticize plugin, I’m going to stick with this hacked-up arrangement that caches my main page and RSS feed. I’ll be tweaking the site frequently in the next few days, so excuse the dust for a while! 
Link-love from the Scobleizer

Blogger's Working Again
Blogger’s working again! (finally!) Boy, that was one long break, mostly because of this problem, which seemed to affect me for longer than it did most others. Note to self: upgrade web hosting and move to MT asap.
Addition to the Links Page
Can’t believe I haven’t added Root Node to my links page yet. Great source of links. On another note, sathanurdam no longer seems to connect

Ever Upwards
I am now (and if only temporarily) the ninth Dutta on Google, sandwiched between Lara Dutta and the wonderful Mrs Dutta Writes a Letter, an early gem by Chitra Divakaruni. Inch by Inch .

HTML in Chaoszone's RSS Feed
Updated the code that drives the RSS feed for ChaosZone! It was earlier tuned to text-only viewers, it now renders HTML-ized text so the output’s easier to read in readers like AmphetaDesk and Radio.
