狂った!

It has been a long time, but I have decided to return to blogging. I have set up a new domain, as you can see, and am running Typo on a shared host at DreamHost.

I will actually be running several blogs, with some collaboration from others. Each covers a particular area that I am interested in writing about. I haven’t decided on all of the blog names yet, but here are a few:

• http://jundai.kurutta.net (this, my personal blog)
• http://gazou.kurutta.net (blog of images
• http://eiga.kurutta.net (film blog)
• http://seiji.kurutta.net (politics blog)
• http://eigo.kurutta.net (blog on English)
• http://nihongo.kurutta.net (blog on learning Japanese)
• http://computers.kurutta.net (computer-related blog)
• http://link.kurutta.net (blog of links)
• http://zenbu.kurutta.net (contains all of my blog posts)
• http://sachiyanka.kurutta.net (Sach’s blog)

The blogging engine you see here is a modified version of the program Typo, which runs on Ruby on Rails, a Web technology that I am particularly interested in exploring. Don’t get too used to the way these blogs look–I’ll be playing around with the way it looks once I’ve gotten all the infrastructure in place.

I’ll make my first personal post in a little while, but first–a few comments about my intentions for this blog:

This particular blog (jundai.kurutta.net) will always be for my own personal, navel-gazing introspection, but the other blogs may have other contributors (if you are interested, let me know).

I also intend to continually reëdit my posts. This blog will be something between a journal and a series of living articles. Aside from grammar or spelling, I may decide that whole sections of a post need rewriting, and in that spirit I will violate the unwritten Internet forum/blog rule that posts, once written, are permanent, and that changes should only be made in subsequent posts or should at least be clearly marked.

But enough about my blog, time to talk about me!
