If you’ve been here before, you’ll notice 2second(fuse) looks different: I’ve converted to an ExpressionEngine CMS for this new incarnation. The ongoing upgrade process has been an interesting few months. The core functionality is here, but there are many new parts still unfinished, unimplemented. As testimony to how swiftly everything moves here in 02010, this upgrade is itself already derailed and being re-engined.
My original plan was to fold all my various sites and projects into one server, one umbrella CMS install with admin from a combined console. This is still mostly the plan, with a new twist. Back in the internet day, I came out strongly against comments in weblogs. While I remain unconvinced comments are a needed or good part of modern weblogs, Facebook’s latest strong-armed redefinition of privacy for its users has forced me to think again.
In the wake of Facebook’s decision to be evil, I’ve realized I need a real hub for my activities and connections with compatriots. Regrettably, ExpressionEngine isn’t a good choice for that hub. I’m appraising WordPress 3, which has folded WordPressMU into the code base for true multi-site functionality from a single install. I’ve also taken a fancy to the theoretical doings of the Diaspora four. WordPress currently has the lead, but Diaspora could pull an upset if they open up progress reports over the next few months.
Truthfully, then, this is not a relaunch. Rather, it’s a stepping stone in a path across the water, a new moon expanding to full circle in the near future.
