fork

February 10th, 2009

I’ve forked the tech-type posts into their own blog, haxx.sinequanon.net and will keep this one for more personal stuff. The few existing tech posts are mirrored in both blogs for backwards-googlebility. And I recovered the old-old images back into the blog.

I’m trying to get to Macchu Pichu for vacation next week, if the airline comes through with something decent for me, and the farmer’s strikes don’t disrupt rail service while I’d be there.
