Revival

Ok, I know it was a long long time ago (in a galaxy far far away) when I last posted to Epicycle. I did actually move the site for a while onto a Freedom2Operate hosted site, and used Wordpress, but sadly that blog stagnated and died as Freedom2Operate expanded.

In the last few years bandwidth has become cheaper, web standards have become richer and the rise of social networking has made personal publishing more of a norm than a niche. With this, the Blogger interface has also become more capable. It's still not as configurable as Wordpress et al. but given my habit of "tweaking" I think I'm more likely to post using Blogger than anything Wordpress based. ;) Moreover, there have been a lot of changes (within as well as without) since my last post, and what with the coming new world order, I can't help thinking that the next several years will be interesting enough to blog about.

So I've decided to revive Epicycle. I can't promise that I'll post more frequently, or even more poignantly, than before. But I'll try. My layout template still needs some working (told you I love "tweaking") and some of the old links are now dead (please let me know if you stumble across any of them). So please mind the wet paint.

And if you are a citizen of the U.S.A.: VOTE!
