andymatuschak.org

Alright. Okay. I’m going to try this blog thing again. I’m serious this time, guys. My eyes are gleaming and everything.

If you’re new here, check out the sidebar for a little info on what I’m all about.

With a new site comes a new format. andymatuschak.org is now composed of three sub-blogs:

• Square Signals: coding and other Mac-ish nerdery;
• Journal: a plain name for a journal about a pretty plain guy;
• Sparkle: the Blog!: by popular demand, a blog just on Sparkle.

There are RSS feeds for each—subscribe to only the content you want to read. I felt bad before pushing news about my schooling to all you Cocoa hackers. When you open your RSS reader, I know that’s serious business, and I want your feeds to distract you from your work in the least distracting way possible.

Under the hood

On the previous iteration of my site, the design was such that posts were big! Important! Every one of them had to count and had to have an excerpt—which had to be a certain length or else the visual balance would get all thrown off.

So very frequently, I would have smaller tidbits for you, but because of these problems, it just felt wrong to share them. No more! Now the design is lighter, yes, but what’s more, I have support for little asides, which will be mixed in with the stream of legitimate postings. Fear not: they’ll be clearly distinguished as smaller, gentler creatures, meekly offering some morsel of information.

I’ve also switched to WordPress from Typo, and I’ve found it to be much more cooperative in my efforts to bend it to my whim. I moved over some of the older postings, but tragically, the comments perished in the proceedings. Please let me know if anything around here is broken or not to your liking.

Onward and upwards!

Now then! That’s enough chattery—meat is better than meta, and all that. Please find the relevant corner of my humble abode and set up camp.
