rbandrewsI finished a weekly Lua post, posted to my new Wordpress blog for such things: Play With Lua! It's a thing from Knuth vol. 4a, about generating all the possible trees.
For making posts about programming, Wordpress is a lot better than either Livejournal or Dreamwidth: I can embed code with syntax highlighting, I can embed graphs and diagrams with Graphviz, the editor is just generally better at converting fake-HTML to HTML. I can hack in more features and change around the appearance of things, because I control the entire web stack. I could even control the entire machine stack if I went to Linode, but I don't really need to.
So programming posts will probably go there from now on. At least Lua-related ones will; I may have to make a clone of that Wordpress setup for a more generic coding blog if I ever want to. I resisted setting up my own site for years because I didn't want to have another pointless coding blog nobody will ever read, but it really is just that much better to write in.
I also ordered my Origins badge just now, and a board room ribbon. In a little over a month I'll wake up super-early and fly to Columbus, and that will be fun.
