The Joys of Blogger

Today my article about the upcoming expansion to World of Warcraft made the front page of Slashdot, a popular geeky news site. It used to be that "getting Slashdotted" was a sure-fire way to cripple your site. These days, not so much. I wouldn't have even noticed if it hadn't been for my Analytics graph going all flat-line with today being a spike a couple orders of magnitude from the norm. Services like Blogger help to keep those of use who feel the urge to write up and running no matter the load. It's the primary reason I don't run my own site (well, for blogging anyway) anymore.

Perhaps this will spur me to finally get rid of my old Wiki and replace it with something run on better hardware.

Moving to Blogger

Aaron's Essays used to be at www.3d6.net/aarons_essays/ which was my own server running MovableType, but I just got too frustrated with MT, and finally decided that maintaining so many different services on my home server was no longer workable. So... welcome to Aaron's Essays. essays.ajs.com will continue to point to this blog as always. I'll continue to drone on about whatever it is that I find interesting, though there may be more posts here than there were on my old blog, since it's a bit faster and easier to use.
