David R. MacIver's Blog

Hello

Hello. Remember this place?

If you’re reading this, there’s a decent chance you’ve been reading my substack. I’ve enjoyed writing that, and I intend to continue to cross-post relevant posts over there, but I’ve also been missing having a “real” blog, and feeling increasingly bad about the lingering rotting corpse of my old blog, so I’m attempting to revitalise it.

As part of that I’ve moved off Wordpress and onto a static site generator. I’ve also imported all my substack posts into here. Hopefully all of those will work. Let me know if you run into any problems.

One of the big motivators is that I want to do more writing about technical subjects again. I’ve been doing a bit of that over on my notebook but the notebook feels off for anything I want to be taken seriously, because the whole point of things that are on the notebook is that they oughtn’t be taken seriously. They feel even more off on the substack, which has never really been about that. I could start a new blog, but there’s one sitting right here which has historically been for exactly that.

So, here we are, back at the beginning - me writing posts, sometimes about software development, on drmaciver.com.
