## Source excerpt

I've wanted to move this programming blog away from Artima for what seems like several years now (Here's an earlier update on the process). My buddy Bill hasn't found developing the blogging platform to be of much interest anymore, and in particular he realizes there are many better alternatives at this point. The conversion took a surprising amount of research, partly because I've been away from blogging technology for quite awhile.
