<p>In other news, this blog turned 10 last saturday
(<a href="http://bewatermyfriend.org/posts/2005/04-11.16-21-37-blog.html">ftblog online!</a>).
Kind of missed that date myself. Post frequency is dwindling, but I guess I'll
continue annoying you with my boring crap from time to time anyway. Cheers! ☺</p>

<p>I have just switched my blog to use `<a href="http://ikiwiki.info">ikiwiki</a>' instead
of `<a href="http://zblog.bewatermyfriend.org">zblog</a>'. The reasons for that are
numerous. The most striking one is that ikiwiki is better from a technical
point of view. It scales way better and has less bugs. Also, when I hit a bug
in ikiwiki, I got people to run to and cry like a baby. With zblog, I had to
fix things <strong>myself</strong>. Which is obviously unacceptable. <strong>;)</strong></p>
<p>Also, zblog was designed for a different purpose. Back then, I wanted a blog,
that was controlable purely via email. I don't need that anymore. Actually, I
don't <strong>want</strong> that anymore. Among other things, it made blogging a little
clumsy. I wrote a few functions for emacs which make adding a new posting very
quick. So that's better already right now, as I'm typing this. And I'm typing
<a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax">markdown</a>, not a snippet
of xhtml. As I said, it's much better.</p>
<p>Anyway. The old blog is available as
<a href="http://bewatermyfriend.org/oldblog.html">http://bewatermyfriend.org/oldblog.html</a>. It
will remain the way it was. The old links should be intact, too. The
<a href="http://bewatermyfriend.org/atom.xml">old atom link</a> will be kept intact,
too. But it won't be updated. The <strong>new</strong> atom feed is at
<a href="http://bewatermyfriend.org/index.atom">http://bewatermyfriend.org/index.atom</a>. And
there will be per-tag feeds like
<a href="http://bewatermyfriend.org/tag/scheme/index.atom">scheme</a>. I don't know if
that's useful, but I get that from ikiwiki for free.</p>
<p>I'll probably play with the style sheet a little more to make
<a href="http://bewatermyfriend.org">the website</a> prettier (for my definition of
pretty, obviously) - but I'm almost happy with it already.</p>
