A few years back, I got bored on winter break and decided to learn how to code PHP. The result of my experience was a very rudimentary blog system, which I called LeanLog. The standout of feature of LeanLog was its near-exclusive use of static pages… a necessity when you’re running your blog system on a 450MHz Pentium III scavenged off the office junkheap of a previous employer. After I was done coding, I found myself with a clunky homebrewed CMS, a passable server system, and a DSL line. All that was missing was a domain name.
And so Randomonics was born. It served as a repository for my geeky moments, angst-ridden freakouts, and wandering philosophical diatribes through most of high school and the beginning of college. Then I stopped updating. Sometime between then and now, the server died, and I never bothered to bring it back to life.
Now here I am with unused web space, a much more useful install of Wordpress, and a bevy of new interests and projects. It’s time to bring Randomonics back to life. Where will this go? I don’t know. But I intend to have a little fun with it in short term, at least.
Well, I’m home.
