Project launches

Posted in blogging, geekery, meta, muni, xen on August 27th, 2006 by MarkBallew

Since I’m going to be fairly busy this week, I’m going to go ahead and “officially launch” my two blogs ahead of Sept.1 launch date:

First:

LastMuni, the San Francisco transportation blog. You can add this blog as a Livejournal friend to read updates on your Livejournal friendslist: LastMuni syndication feed

Second:

XenJournal, the open source virtualization blog. You can add this blog as a Livejournal friend to read updates on your Livejournal friendslist: XenJournal syndication feed

On other projects, my thesis project is a go again. This is process suspension between virtual machines in a cluster, the idea being to pause unwanted processes that talk over tcp and resume them at a later time.

I have two more projects in the pipeline, one will be an NLP blog in about 6-8 months and the other is a “Muni survival guide”. If any one wants to help me with the MSG, let me know and I’ll add you to the wiki for edits.

Moving to Wordpress

Just a heads-up to all my readers, I’m moving this blog over to Wordpress in the coming days, mainly because Wordpress is much better at comment spam than Newbruiser. Also, while I like keeping my entries in plaintext, using a database scales better. The site is getting pretty darn slow these days.

First post

This is the first post of what will become my personal blog. Considering that even Cambodia’s ex-king has a blog, I’ve decided that I should join this ranks as well.
