Looks like I have a blog now!

Inspired by a thread here, my first post is On browser tabs [tilde.green]: My system to avoid drowning under open browser tabs

My natural tendencies are to review something thrice before publishing it THEN re-writing it twice anyway, so experimenting with ways to avoid this will be part of the experiment.

I'll try to publish things often, even if they're not perfect. I might come back to older posts a few weeks/months later and update them as I please.

Piece of cake for that server though.
