The blog is alive!

This summer, I'm participating in Google's Summer of Code, attached to the NetBSD project and working on fixing certain misfeatures of the software RAID driver — more details on which later.

Various other SoCers have declared their intention of keeping a weblog on their work; and, since I'm not entirely unfamiliar with the concept, I thought I might do that as well. And this blog, being created for me to do Serious Technical Blogging (and then left to gather dust when I stopped being bothered with writing for it), and hosted by Google no less, seems like the best place.

Well. I briefly considered “blogging” by hand-writing an RSS file and giving out that URL — why, some web browsers even format RSS nicely when you browse to it — but then came to my senses. I also considered making a separate blog (as BlogSpot has a nice interface/ontology for that), but didn't really see the point. And, hey, tags; they're what Web 2.0 is all about, except when it's not, or something.
