Blogging is so passé

Good thing I never got into it.

As I wrote in a previous post, I’ve been planning on moving joshmoody.com away from a blog and instead make it an aggregation of the social networking sites I actually use.

That finally happened this week.  On the spur of the moment one night, I decided to update the OS on my Linux web server from an ancient version of CentOS to the latest and greatest Ubuntu.  I REALLY like Ubuntu… it’s by far the easiest Linux distro to set up and maintain I’ve ever used.  After the upgrade, I decided to go ahead use the programming I’d been working on for my new front page.

I wrote an aggregator in PHP that takes new items from the public RSS feeds from my Twitter, Flickr, and Photobucket accounts and shoves them in a database.  Then I can easily display those items on my website in the order in which they were posted.

I still have a little work to do on this, but it’s functional enough to use.  Not like anyone will actually read it any way :-) http://joshmoody.com
