This is, hopefully, a permanent replacement for a site I used to have posted in 2004, when I was a lowly dial-up subscriber with 10 megabytes of webspace. Now, however, I have broadband and a proper webhosting account.
So, in addition to the old combination of academic papers and resumé, now I can use the web to publish selections from my very large mental collection of facts and opinions. They range over most subjects, but cluster around my main personal and professional interests: politics, philosophy, books and videogames. Subscribe to the RSS feed, and join me on the path that leads into the future.
This is just a test to make sure that commenting still works after I installed the wp hashcash plugin for stopping comment spam. The site’s only been up for a few weeks, and already I was getting spam. I’m astonished, but then I’m new to the ways of blogging. This should stop it.
