I promised myself I wouldn't, but I just did it anyway. I've written my own blogging engine, rather than sticking with the perfectly adequate and elegant bloxsom.

It's nothing fancy (not really an 'engine' at all), and I'm sure I'll get bored with it soon. I should probably concentrate on actually getting this stuff online somewhere, and maybe even thinking about some content.

Of course it's written in perl, and follows the bloxsom (static mode) model. In fact, it really just ties a bit of File::Find with Template Toolkit and some Image::Magick thrown in to make images a bit easier. It currently stands at ~360 lines, and I've only got 3 TODO items left. I might even 'publish' it when I've done those.

Well, here goes nothing. I've been threatening for quite a while that I'd give this blogging lark a go, and now I've finally gone and done it. Or at least I've started - only time will tell if I actually bother to keep going.

What can you hope to expect if you come back regularly? (what am I talking about?, I've not even published a single entry yet), mostly just random stuff other people have done which I think is worthy of a mention, silly jokes I've seen, odd photos, junk like that. Occasionally I might even throw in a boring techy thing, who knows.
