TidBITS

I just renewed my membership to TidBITS. If you’ve never heard of TidBITS, you should check them out. They have been publishing continuously online for 28 years, and their content is second to none. They also host an amazing online discussion list, TidBITS-Talk. The site’s content is focused on Apple news and technology, but the quality of the journalism is so high and the coverage is broad enough that there is likely something there for everyone.

Membership is completely optional, so check it out. It is not hyperbole to say that TidBITS has improved the quality of my life every week for the past quarter century.

wordpress, php, mysql

Ha! It just occurred to me that I have now embraced three technologies that I have heretofore avoided: WordPress itself has had a number of security issues, and PHP and mySQL have a level of configuration complexity that can lead to vulnerabilities. But that’s history, right? At least I am isolating these technologies on their own physical box away from sensitive information. Time will tell.

I’m pleased with how the pages are looking after migrating to WordPress.

I am planning on keeping the ancient legacy pages as is, but I want to get rid of all of the TWiki pages, since I’d like to not have to worry about TWiki security vulnerabilities.

I’m doing some reorganizing. I am moving many legacy pages to TLS-secured servers and starting a slow migration away from the TWiki collaboration platform I have used for many years. My blog, looseassociations.com, has been migrated to WordPress. I’m slowly moving TWiki content from the risley.net domain into WordPress. The ancient pre-TWiki risley.net pages are still here, though they might be kind of hard to find (and likely not worth the effort).

I am doing my best to preserve the deep links from other sites that I know about, but there will be casualties.
