You have reached my little site. There's not much here at the moment, but do drop by every now and then; its a work in progress.

As you can see, this site is quite spartan, and that's the way I like it. I'm currently using blosxom for this ephemeral blog site, despite the prevalence of database-backed blogging and CMS software with all the Web 2.0, AJAX, and Web Services bullshit. Those are not for me, at least for the moment; nor do I want to encourage a "community" around my site, whatever that is, as I have better things to do than exchange pleasantries.

That said, I know that the blosxom code is rather old and the plugins available for it seem to be disappearing. Since its in Perl, however, I think I can take a crack at writing my own plugins (and possibly improving blosxom itself.) I might probably rewrite it in CGI::Application, if it comes to that.

By the way, in case you're wondering: I'm Zak B. Elep, and I go by zakame on the Internets. I actually have an older, more dynamic, and friendlier weblog at spunge.org, where it all started; more on that later.

And yeah, the standard disclaimers for blogging applies: this site contains my own personal opinions on various matters (and maybe some real, hard facts, from time to time,) and in now way should these opinions be construed as official statements of organizations or companies I'm connected with. They have their own PR reps: talk to them if you need "official" shit.

That's all for the moment: I'll go play out with some code.
