New domain, new blog
i’ve moved myself over to alexhixon.com, because it makes much more sense for me to have a personal domain instead of using anything else. as such, i’ve also brought my blog across.
i was using Wordpress, but I’ve decided to switch to this cool little blogging software based on Django called ‘cx‘. it’s certainly minimalistic, which is one reason why i love it. also, a lot less security issues than wordpress, haha. no more upgrading every other week! it does have some neat things out of the box, like last.fm and del.icio.us integration (which i’ve just signed up to, by the way) and supports Askimet.
there was zilch documentation, however. i’ve started putting this into my own personal Bitbucket repository (a really cool Github-like service for us Mercurial users, by the way). i’ll be trying to push it back into the original repository. plus, it didn’t work on my machine because Etch comes with Python 2.4 rather than 2.5, so some things like the wp-import script needed some adjusting. nor did it work with Django trunk (or versions < 1.0).
so, anyway, you can email me by saying hi to alex at alexhixon dot com, too (since i’ve got this shiny new domain)! my old email address should still forward fine — you can use that too.
