bthaxor.com: a new beginning

introduction

OK, here's the deal.

I started bthaxor.com as a blog almost a year ago, and so far I'm quite happy with what I've managed to accomplish on the blog: from personal diary-style entries, to technological news articles and tutorials. However with the increasing workload of high school, and the fact that blogging usually takes me over an hour, I've decided to give up bthaxor.com as a blog.

I know I already wrote this on my blog, however I'm now redirecting my home to this page. You can still access my blog via http://www.bthaxor.com/page/1/, however this will not be updated and I will be mucking around trying new things there, so I HIGHLY recommend not going there unless you're specifically looking for something. I will be backing up all of my blog posts, and if I deem any worthwhile of moving to my new site, I will do so. I will NOT put a time frame on when the new site will come, because I want to make sure it's done PROPERLY, not QUICKLY.

so what now?

Actually my plan is this: I will be converting my website to a portfolio site to showcase my web design work, since I plan on starting my own local web design business this year. I WILL have a blog page, but I might blog once a week / month - definitely not with the same frequency as now. I will auto-post these posts to my Posterous as well, and if I find anything worth posting about (e.g. a cool Youtube video or something) then this will be posted to my Posterous / Twitter ONLY. I will keep my website blog as a technical one, e.g. for code samples, to show off new designs or for the occasional technical review.

I am still working on a new vision for bthaxor.com - I was thinking of adding a downloads / tutorials section for all my Sony Ericsson mods, of having a lifestream page to show off my Twitter / Flickr / Posterous etc.

The one thing I AM certain of is that the new bthaxor.com will be NOTHING like the blog it was before. So if you are still interested in my life and want to know how Mielz's birthday party was, or whether the 3rd Epping bus came yesterday or not, then I highly recommend either getting a Twitter account and following me at @bthaxor, or at least visiting my Twitter every once in a while, or following me using an RSS reader with THIS address (although you may have a hard time keeping up with my tweets).

If you enjoyed reading my blog, then get a Twitter account and follow me at @bthaxor to keep up-to-date with my life. Thank you to everyone who's been following bthaxor's blog, and I just want to say DON'T delete your links to this site yet - the URL is staying the same, and the new site WILL come!
