This is my first post from Drupal. My old site (with its measly 3 posts) is no mas. The old posts were moved here.

I’m a huge fan of markdown and textile. It was only natural that I use textile for my blog. I first tried the king of blogs, Wordpress. However, the textile plugin for Wordpress is well, ... let’s just say inefficient. By default, everytime some visits a page, the plugin turns the textile page into HTML right there on the spot. This is only asking for trouble when your site gets any decent amount of traffic. (To be fair, you can use other plugins to achieve the same effect. However, I decided against Wordpress because I wanted to try something new.) <!--break--> So then I tried TextPattern. I’ll admit, TextPattern had me drooling at first — it’s a CMS built around textile. That’s right, you get textile built right in and a full featured CMS. On top of that, instead of PHP, it uses a very elegant (and simple) HTML-like markup. Who can beat that?
Unfortunately, the honeymoon soon ended — my default site (no plugins) with a mere two articles, ran painfully slow. The reason is that TextPattern does not use cacheing. That means all that “elegant” HTML-like markup gets turned into PHP each time anyone visits your site. That’s CPU intensive. On my slow host, this is the kiss of death.
Yes, I can use plugins to cache in TextPattern — but, unfortunately, I know from past experience that’s only asking for trouble. When you rely on an add-on for core functionality, stuff inevitably breaks. Thus, I’m leaving TextPattern and switching back to Drupal.

Hi all. This is my first post.
After years of playing with blogging software, I finally decided to take the plunge.
Using sweetcron, I’ve setup a lifestream. A lifestream more than a blog — it’s a collection of my twitter tweets, my photos, my youtube videos, and blog posts.
In this blog, I’ll be posting mainly about technology and occasionally about Christianity.
