Over the last few days there’ve been a number of occasions when I’ve thought about something, and then thought “I wanna write something about this, but it’s too long to sum up in 140 characters”.  I’ve had “CaiWingfield.com” registered for a while, and had some vague nothing sitting in a WordPress framework for a while.  I had fun designing some fancy AJAX site but then (as is always the way) realised that I had no actual content.  So today I decided that I’d go ahead and upgrade to WordPress 2.7, clear out everything that was content-free, and start again.  Here it is.  I’ll probably add design back in, slowly, as it’s fun.

Aw man. I got hacked (or something) and an obviously spam message got posted in my twitter feed. Of course, I’ve had my account suspended, pending investigation. I should be back up within a month, according to twitter. I don’t know whether the error is twitter’s or mine, but needless to say every place where I used the same password as for twitter has been changed, just in case. All in all, not as painful as it might have been, I guess!

I've kind of wanted to move my site to flat-file static framework for a while. I like writing in plain text in my text editor; I like operating in files and directories. I liked Wordpress for a good long while, but when I return to my site's back-end to post once every six months, I discover it's been redesigned again and I have less and less idea about what things there mean. (The move to blocks, and even post formats, passed me by.)
