Helium-3

I thought Matt had been rather quiet at Frownland of late, and it turns out he’s cooked up a new weblog, Helium-3, hosted punk-style on his iMac:

Well I’m back; with a new name, new design, and an experiment in DIY blog hosting. Yes, this site is being served from my trusty iMac DVSE over my not-lightening fast Blueyonder connection. Not sure what the implications of this are yet, but I guess I’ll find out sooner or later. Just don’t expect 100% uptime as I forgetfully turn my computer off on the odd occassion.

I’ll be interested to see how this turns out for Matt - my old iBook is effectively an AirPort base station these days, bar the occasional burst of broadcasting, and it could be put to better use. Come to think of it, I’m in the middle of building a small site for a new improvised music CD-R label just now, which might be just the project to take advantage of all the Apache goodness bundled with OS X.
