New Blog Elements

If you're reading this in an aggregator, you won't be able to see this, but on my blog home page, I've added a few new interesting time wasters. Specifically:

• Visitor Map - This is from ClustrMaps and shows how few readers I actually have :-)
• Recent Interesting Sites And Articles - This has three things:
• Recently "Shared" Google Reader Items
• Recently "Starred" Google Reader Items
• Recent del.icio.us Links

So for all those times you don't have anything better to do, you can see what I'm looking at...

Google Apps

I've recently setup a couple of my domains with Google Apps, and I'm very happy with it. 6G+ of email space per account, 10G+ of space per domain for wiki stuff, and lots of document and spreadsheet goodness all around. You can check out either http://start.mackelprang.com or http://start.mackelprang.org to see what's there.

The main site for me will be the mackelprang.com one (http://www.mackelprang.com). The mackelprang.org site will be used for the "family at large".

Setting up the domains was a very painless experience compared to what it would take doing it at a hosting site. I've migrated nearly all of my local hosting dependencies to my Google Apps sites, and I'm very pleased. I'll keep you up to date as things progress.

Starting Up. Again.

So Andy tells me he wants to blog again, and guilts me into joining him. I have a lot of article topics pending, so I'm going to spend a couple of hours a week getting them out here. Hopefully I'll be more diligent this time than last...
