In five days, this blog will be 3 years old.
Normally, after a few years of *something* existing it’s time to party. Perhaps a re-design, re-purpose or simple “thank you” to all those who have followed the ups and downs and still continue to tag along for the ride.
If there is one universal constant, it is that I am not normal. Another is that what goes up, must (eventually) come down.
And it is with a combination of sadness (and hope) that I officially close down smackfoo.com. Whilst the site will remain active for posterities sake1 it will cease to be my primary voice and will as such not see updates.
It’s also time to bid Wordpress goodbye. It’s been a fine vehicle for basic content management, but is simply not heading in a direction that I chose to follow. It is increasingly difficult to maintain code for the platform and consumes more time than it really should.
I have always appreciated the chance to share ideas and philosophies2 and I thank each and every visitor and regular alike for dropping by.
As I’ve hinted at previously there is however, a new love in my life. The Lab has been quietly taking shape and has developed over a few months of mixing chemicals and powders together to see what explodes. The odd scorching aside it’s worked out pretty well.
Thus, I would like to invite you all to visit the Atomic Ninja Labs — my new home.
