I’ve been slowly setting up different useful development tools over the last few weeks (namely a local and remote Version Control System (VCS) and local and remote task/bug tracker). Even if they are not ready to be shown off at all, I wanted a place to yammer about my projects’ development without having to completely make a new blog or jump through any more hoops with WordPress plug-ins to accomplish the same thing I did in about 5 minutes of hardcoding (I hate it, but nothing does what I want.. >.<). So I now have a development blog as part of my usual blog. Even though I would love to make my own blogging software, and that is likely a future project, I just want to be able to yammer away without staring at too much code just yet. So now I have this and it’ll do until I do accomplish that. A separate development blog would be awesome, but why waste the effort at this point, neh?
I made a separate hard-coded element on the navigation bar that will link to the Development Blog category. Simple, but effective. All of the posts related to the dev blog can be found there, always.
So in the future, I’ll have posts for my development blog. They likely won’t show up on the front-page, and even more likely not to appear in my Twitter account. But for now, things can work as they are. =) I look forward to yammering about my slowly-progressing projects. =)
