Thanks to free hosting (HURRY!) and free blogging software (thanks Matt!), I’m going to be playing around a little bit over here. If you like watching that sort of thing, come and see. P.S. Any good ideas for domain names?

I’ve just come across a blog built using something called .Text which appears to be somehow not just built using Microsoft technology (ASP, IIS servers), but somehow sponsored by them. Can anyone tell me more? Could this be the once-jokey-rumoured Microsoft Blogger™?

I was reading some of my old Metafilter comments today and came across this thread, discussing our favourite blogs from February 2001. How many of these are still in existence, and of those, how many are still interesting?

Intrepid reporter dude Josh Benton is spending six weeks in Zambia as part of the Pew Fellowship in International Journalism program. He’s taking a break from posting at his usual place, crabwalk.com, and has set up a special blog, Zambia Stories, to document his trip. Josh is quite a globetrotter, having done a series of stories on tiny Pitcairn Island a few years back. Last year, he even visited Toronto.

Do you use Movable Type? Are you tired of deleting comment spam? Now, the bald and brilliant Jay Allen is doing something about it. Try MT-Blacklist. It’s very easy to install, and it helps deal with a very annoying problem.

Could it be, a post on Consolation Champs that is both a little bit techie and a little bit useful? Wow, if this keeps up, we’ll be back to the glory days of 2001 in no time…
