Vox is not merely the Milton Keynes of blog sites, but the walled estate of blog sites. That nonmembers can't comment at all sorta misses the point of my Wikimedia blog existing. Any hints on favoured blog engines and what you do and don't like about them? Let's assume I don't want to just set up another LJ. Heck, I might even run something on davidgerard.co.uk myself.

Last night I went to dinner and the Dev with eyeliner297. We got utterly smashed at the Dev and, in a fatal move, went to Quinns after the Dev shut at 11pm and got more smashed until 1am. Quinns is fatal on a school night. Abi is luvverly and I think I survived work today.

We still haven't extracted our deposit from the old landlard, but the new landlord's electrician dealt with the blowing light quick smart (a loose earth wire). It's so nice not renting from a slumlard.

I'm on call as of Friday 6pm, so am considering going out tomorrow. Anything on? Visiting rosefox by day when she's over next week, and next evening out will be the return of B-Movie next Friday.

Wordpress seems to not suck too hard. I use it on a few sites, and it's given me no trouble. Other people I trust (eg. mendel also use it and seem to like it. It's open source and has lots of quite good plugins. Downside: PHP. But you don't have to get your hands dirty.

BTW - you're not doing your 'l33t triple-attack blogging (same post to LJ, Advogato and Infotrope) any more, are you? How painful was that when you were bothering?

I had a custom script I used for it. It did Advo and email automatically, but I never got around to putting LJ in there since LJ::Simple is anything but, so in fact I was copy-pasting for a little while there before I gave up and just went all-LJ.

If you ever plan to do something similar, take a look at mendel's recent post about Google issues with cross-posting blog entries.
