Technical stuff is leaving this site for foohack.com

My domain name is too long, and this site is too cluttered.

I got a new domain name: foohack.com. All my personal stuff, like marriage announcements or political diatribes will remain here. Technical stuff is going to be moving over to foohack.com. So, if that’s the reason why you’re reading, then perhaps it would be good to go check the new digs. (The style is a bit dry, but only because I’m still not sure what it should look like, and also because I haven’t had much time to make it pretty.) If you are someone that I know and read this blog to keep in touch, but don’t care about Javascript or any of that nonsense, then Good news! It’s leaving!

Also, my email address is getting shorter. If you don’t like having to spell my name to send me email, you can use “quux” at that new domain, which is foohack.com and it’ll get to me.
