Archived Posts

from Rod's Old Radio UserLand Blog

Back in 2003 I ran a moderately popular tech blog on the Radio UserLand platform.

While weblogs.com has continued to serve the content for more than 10 years after I stopped paying them to, I thought that for posterity's sake it might be a good idea to migrate those posts to a site I actually have control of.

Notes:

1. This archive only contains the text of the blog posts themselves. Comments and trackbacks (which Radio hosted on another server) disappeared a long time ago.

2. Items that aren't linked haven't been ported over yet.

3. Bold text indicates popular and/or "meatier" posts.

4. The process of migrating from the weblogs.com site to here was semi-automated, so I haven't looked at each post in detail. If you come across broken links or other obvious translation errors, please let me know.

So without further adieu, here's a list of the posts from that blog:
