It’s no secret that my original blog and project site doesn’t get any love these days. It’s clunky, old, and pretty much impossible to bring up to date without losing everything, thanks to its dependencies on Drupal modules still not even available for D6. Pretty much everything that it originally existed for, I now have other services to provide those features for me. To go through some of them:

• As a splash/about me page, about.me
• As a blog, Tumblr
• As a resume/job portfolio, LinkedIn
• For tracking events, Outlook (although it’s not a service) and Facebook (private profile)

I even had labs.coldacid.net for project hosting and random code blurbs, although it’s now going to be for random game hacking stuff for CDG.

So, what to do with Chris.Charabaruk.com? It still functions as a way for people without my email address to contact me. I don’t have any good solutions for project hosting that doesn’t force all my code to be open-source without paying a bunch of cash per developer. And Tumblr’s worse than horrible for posting code, in my opinion.

I think what the future will hold in store for my eponymous website will be project hosting. I’ll probably keep the blog posts around too, since I don’t want to bother having to migrate them to here, or delete them. Whether I keep Drupal around is another question, though. I’m not going to make further subdomains to set up web apps I now use for project management, which means Drupal at the top level of the site has to go, at the very least, so I can fit other things in. (Well, there’s ways to deal with that, but I’m not sure I can be bothered to play with .htaccess files all day to do it.)

For now, C.C.c is just sitting around while I take care of other things. But I’d like to handle that situation sooner rather than later.
