How a Hacker Can Afford To Blog

Hi. I'm Ingy döt Net. Yeah, for real, that's my name.

I've been avoiding blogging for some time now. Not that I don't have stuff to say. More about what software to use.

I like to write software, so using someone else's stuff seems gross. Easy but sleazy. Can't do it.

Until now. Yesterday I was looking at my friend's blog: http://gugod.org/blog/. I asked him what software he uses. He told me that he edits it all on blogger.com, but after each post it gets ftp'd to his server.

I like this idea. It's a good starting point but I can write wrappers over it at any point. Neat. I could write stuff to merge in my twitter.com posts.

Maybe tomorrow...
