Things never get boring here at Intelligent Artifice. OK, actually, sometimes they do, but not right now is what I guess I want to say. Mere days after announcing the use of Delicious to automatically generate blog posts, I’ve added another way for me to more easily get content to you: Twitter. Twitter, or rather [...]

A new-ish way of blogging
As you can see from the previous post, I have started using a new way to blog interesting things. Whatever I save and tag in Delicious automatically gets posted here (using Postalicious, a nice WordPress plugin). Keen IA readers may remember I did something similar back in late 2006, but I was not happy with [...]
A couple of changes to the blog
I just added automatic backing-upping to this blog. Then I upgraded to WordPress 2.6, and did that in such a way that I can easily upgrade to newer versions in the future, using Subversion. It all worked without a hitch, so I figured, what the hell, I might as well pick a different theme. This [...]
Site upgrade
Careful readers may have noticed small changes here and there. Today, I performed a somewhat bigger upgrade behind the scenes. Everything seems to be working like before… Still, if you see something fishy, please let me know.
Some people are visiting this site for the wrong reasons
I have a cold, so my posting frequency is down a bit. Anyway, this is what people are searching for when they get to my site: I also get a ton of visits through Google image search because of this picture. http://del.icio.us/tag/banjos leads to my site, and I am currently the #1 result for http://www.answers.com/should%20i%20stop%20playing%20WoW.

Post-transfer observations
1. According to Google Analytics, traffic on my site went from about 25 hits a day to 200 hits a day, since the transfer. 2. According to FeedBurner (owned by Google), subscribers to my feed dropped from about 375 to 85 since the transfer. Is anyone having trouble with the feed? My guess is both [...]
Transfer complete
You can now reach this blog again through the usual URL (with or without ‘www’). The temporary URL at dreamhosters.com will disappear soon. There are still a few small issues to work out, but most of it is done now. I have changed hosting from TypePad to Dreamhost, blogging platform from TypePad to WordPress, and [...]
Welcome
Welcome to the new look of Intelligent Artifice. I have not fully set everything up, but I already like it a lot better. Feel free to leave feedback in the comments. And yes, cute little flowers have nothing to do with games. But I like the rest of the theme so much, I’m leaving it [...]
Transfer in progress
… hopefully. I won’t begin to explain what I am trying to do – all I will say is that I have to start pushing big red buttons now that will likely make my site inaccessible. Please bear with me. The RSS feed may break. In a few days, all should be as before, only [...]
Temporary Offlininess
Pardon my dust. I am going to change some stuff about the how and where of Intelligent Artifice over the next few days, which may result in this site becoming unreachable through the usual URL. Update: Things are looking good so far. Because I have an optimisim bordering on delusion and am clearly a danger [...]
