So, my old blog was a WordPress–based blog, and I was generally happy with it, other than the fact that the Textile formatter would go completely insane on a regular basis and mis-format things in a way that really couldn’t be resolved. When I decided to work on a new blog — the one you’re reading — I seriously wanted to move it over to something more modern (e.g., not based on PHP). Since I’ve been doing a lot of Django for various projects, that was where I planned to go … at least initially.
I looked at various Django-based blog engines, especially django-mingus, but in the end, they all seemed to be missing something, and I was left with the decision to either write it myself, or just focus on the content. And so, I ended up with WordPress again.

I miss your old Bringhurst theme already. It was an island of typographic sanity.
Thank you. I somewhat miss it as well, but it had become quite constraining. For now, I’m going to use this one, while I work on a new design — or at least a new update.
