It's been a long time coming!

The other week, yet another example of sub-par hyperlink copywriting graced my web browser. As usual, I took it upon myself to point out that it was sub-par and that the W3C have an article on the subject.

But, the article has changed! The examples are poor! I have better examples. This threw me into another fit of rage. We need a stronger argument.

I say to Collis “I am so going to write about this when I finish my blog”. He replies “If I had a penny for every time you said you were going to finish your blog I’d be a millionare”. Touché.

I’ve taken it upon myself to shatter the possibility of him becoming a millionare by me not finishing my blog. He’ll have to become a millionare by other means.

So, expect a hilariously incisive rant on hyperlink copyrighting in the next week. If you don’t laugh at it I’ll laugh for you.

Here are some random facts about this blog:

• Runs on a 256MB VPS provided by SliceHost.
• Rails 1.2.3 on Mongrel 1.0.1 behind Lighttpd 1.4.16.
• SQLite3 backend! Yippie!
• The feed is Atom, for no particular reason I can think of.
• I wrote and re-wrote this app in Rails and Camping. Numerous times.
• I add functionality as it annoys me to not have it, in an extreme form of agile, for example:
• I post by creating a migration and cap deploy.

There you go. First post up!
