moving blog; AH/USENIX/LOPSA suit thoughts

Submitted by nhruby on Sat, 2008-06-14 07:18.

The LOPSA blog is nice but I sometimes get frustrated by the editing tools Drupal provides. I also sometimes want to blog about non-system-administration related things and don't think this is a great place for that kind of content. As such, I'm going to start using Blogger instead. My new blog can be found at: http://mindlessadmin.blogspot.com/

For system administration related posts I'll probably post a link here as well in case someone might be interested. For instance, I've posted my thoughts about the AH/USENIX/LOPSA issue that was recently announced.

I've been blogging about non-system-administration topics on blogger (namely photography and flying). But I've found blogger to be rather frustrating as well. So I find it interesting that you view it as an improvement over drupal. I tried to build an HTML table in one of my posts and altho I was finally successful in getting it to look more or less the way I wanted it to, blogger left a ridiculous amount of space before the table that I could never get rid of. I have also found that whenever I insert a photo in to a post it goes at the top, and I then have to move it in to place. In a long post that can very tedious, as I usually want it at the end of what I have just typed. I'm at mooneyguy.blogspot.com for those who are interested.

I don't see any issue with you blogging about non-system-administration related topics here on the LOPSA blog (provided, of course, that they are topics that follow common standards of decency. If you look at my blog, you'll note that many of my posts are not directly system administration related, but could be about financial information, martial arts/spirituality, project management, human development, even entertainment. With system administration being such a large and diverse topic, you never know when something you blog about may have some applicability to system administration.
