Aside from a minor migration hiccup–one that was completely my fault because I am an idiot and thankfully nothing of value was lost–I think we’re back to normal here on the good ship bcarr.me. Podcast tomorrow, intermittent posting around that, as usual.

Back to the blog.
I really like @Medium. It’s nice. The editor is great.
But I miss running things.
Back to WordPress.

It was a fun experiment while it lasted, but I think it’s best that I re-evaluate posting exclusively on Medium, especially since the recent updates have dramatically changed how some important bits work.
They removed comments from posts and merged that functionality into a universal response system. Depending on how I begin writing a response to a post, it gets treated differently by Medium: some responses end up being listed as posts in the top part of my profile page immediately under my identifying information, while others get relegated to a third section too far down the page past a feature that displays my recent highlights.
So, while I’m not going to stop using the service entirely, I am going to stop putting content there first and make a return to placing this blog at the center of what I’m writing on the Internet. Every once in a while I might post something to Medium first, but I don’t expect that to happen too often.
That being said… I wonder what’s happened to WordPress since I last used it.
