Required updates for Movable Type due to the severe vulnerabilities.
VOX, Six Apart's new blogging tool, is now open to everyone. I've been using it for a couple of months now and (as you may have noticed) it's made me forget about this here MT-powered self-made blog that I've had for the last 7 years. Why? Because I, like everybody else, have less time to spare and want everything to be quick and easy at this point in my life. Maybe when I retire I'll go back to hand-coding my thoughts in Notepad, but right now, I want VOX.
Vox doesn't do everything I want. I can't import delicious, last.fm, upcoming, etc like I do here, but it does all the basics really well. But most importantly... all my mates are there in my own little neighbourhood! With it's privacy features, it's perfect for the easy, 'secret' blogging of stuff you want only your best friends and/or your family to read. It's free, so give it a whirl, and invite your mates or maybe your techno-phobe dad.
Hmm, that came out like a copywritten advertisement. It's not. Honest.
So what am I gonna do with eachman.com? Well, I'm thinking of reverting back to prolific.org and making this an aggregate-only hub. I think I'll be stripping this site of its current 'design' soonish.

"Instead of browsing at random through your music collection we?ve created a program that can build you excellent playlists to fit your mood. All you need to do is select a few songs from your iTunes library and then start The Filter."
So 9 hours before I am due at Schiphol airport my hosting company tells me they want to move my account to a high volume server a.s.a.p. because Whedonesque's traffic is dragging poor Eite (the server) down.
They say it's 'easy' and can be done in 10 minutes. Okaaaaaay.
Here goes nothing...
Bye bye, Eite, you were never one of Pair's best boxes anyway.
