I’m always in the process of reviewing and revising my “workflow” – how I work, what I work on, the technologies I utilize to do so. For the last few years, I’ve used GitHub Pages and Jekyll to run this and all my websites. I really like doing so, in no small part because it means I’m working mostly with HTML. I control my own infrastructure (and I will even more once I move everything to my own server, cutting out that GitHub middle-man).

More recently, I’ve also started using Known to post status updates as well as short notes. I call that site “Fragments” because the ideas I put there are, by and large, not fully fleshed out. There have been some positive and some negative side effects of that: I feel more comfortable throwing ideas “out there,” particularly since my Known site (aud.life) doesn’t have a lot of readers (unlike my blogs). But I also think that, as the name suggested, things are getting a bit fragmented.

What I think I’m going to do is copy all the “posts” I’ve made on my Known site to my main personal blog. I’ll back-date these, of course, and I’ll add a link that indicates the material was originally posted on aud.life.

I think that means I'm going to start blogging more of those fragments here.

I’m also toying with a move to Reclaim Hosting for my Known installation. What I should do is handle it myself, but it’s beyond the scope of my technical abilities at the moment (and frankly, I’d rather spend the time learning how to run Jekyll on my own server). We’ll see…

And if I start using this blog to throw up more thoughts-in-process, beware that the feed will get more active. The email newsletter based on the RSS of this blog, for what it's worth, will still only be sent once a week.
