Many of my traditional blog post live on this site, but a great majority of my social-style posts can be found on my much-busier microbloging site at updates.passthejoe.net. It's busier because my BlogPoster "microblogging" script generates short, Twitter-style posts from the Linux or Windows (or anywhere you can run Ruby with too many Gems) command line, uploads them to the web server and send them out on my Twitter and Mastodon feeds.
I used to post to this blog via scripts and Unix/Linux utilities (curl and Unison) that helped me mirror the files locally and on the server. Since this site recently moved hosts, none of that is set up. I'm just using SFTP and SSH to write posts and manage the site.
Disqus comments are not live just yet because I'm not sure about what I'm going to do for the domain on this site. I'll probably restore the old domain at first just to have some continuity, but for now I like using the "free" domain from this site's new host, NearlyFreeSpeech.net.
@odeissimple @LaurenGoode We shouldn't accept giving our content to profit-making, people-exploiting third-party sites so easily.

@odeissimple @LaurenGoode Yet here we are on Twitter. Federation, a la http://t.co/pYKpUEaIdi and http://t.co/N28qWZflkd, is better.

@odeissimple @LaurenGoode But since Twitter gives (in terms of links out) more than others, I've made my temporary peace with it.

@odeissimple @LaurenGoode But give up all of my content to a third-party that's paying me in "free" service (read: serving me ads)? No.

@odeissimple @LaurenGoode A lot of people are laying a lot of pipe over giving up on the open web and owning your own content. Sad.
