Nerding up life, theology, technology, and more

Retain it up!

My favourite spam comment ever:

All I can say is retain it up. This web site is indeed needed inside a time when everybody just wants to talk about how a lot of persons someones cheated on their wife with. I imply, thanks for bringing intelligence back towards the internet, its been sorely missed. Good stuff. Please preserve it coming!

People are weird

As I understand it, most blogging software reports on common searches that turn up hits to your site. Every now and then, the search terms are pretty wacky.

An example:

Wha?

Ancient Hebrew & Ultimate Frisbee happen to be two of my interests, but not even I think they go together.

UPDATE: As it turns out, this site is the 2nd hit for Google’s search on that term.

Changeover

OK, we’re back.

In case you missed it, I’ve changed bits and pieces of info regarding my freney.org domain name. This was for all sorts of technical and personal-usability reasons that don’t really affect you, but going and changing the names of things on the internet often means pages get lost, stuff breaks, and people get frustrated.

So, here’s a list of what’s new:

  • This blog is now at a fishpiper.freney.org
    (the old address was freney.org)
    Most old blog links should redirect, including the bare domain name, but I might have missed some. Sorry if that breaks things.
     
  • Info regarding my Hebrew verb software, Paradigmatic, is at paradigmatic.freney.org (fittingly, I think).
     
  • The News Feed, if you read stuff that way, has a link over to the right in the sidebar.
     
  • My email address, if you know it already, is still the same.

We should be up and running as per usual as of now.

Hopefully.

Changes

I’m about to do some mucking around with my domain name.

Apologies if this mucks up the web addresses for this blog so that you can’t find stuff no more.

What I’m trying to do is to reconfigure my domain name, so I’ve got more useful subdomains. That means that this blog will move from freney.org/blog to blog.freney.org. It will also let me assign my mail login to mail.freney.org, paradigmatic pages to paradigmatic.freney.org, and so on.

 

What I’m just a little unsure about is whether I can sanely redirect all the urls that currently point to this blog to the new domain name.

So if in a day or two’s time you come to check this site, and get an error, try the following two addresses:

http://freney.org (no www)
http://blog.freney.org

 

If you subscribe using a feed reader, make sure your feed is the following address, which will be relatively stable in regard to changes that I make:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/FishPiper

Oh well.
Here goes…
