Things are going to change around here soon; this blog will soon be accessible only through blog.alanquatermain.net, and you’ll (still) only find intermittent essays here. Essentially I made up my mind that I didn’t have anything to write which was long enough to merit the whole WordPress thing, so I’ve wound up moving over to other platforms for the majority of my online presence. More on that in a moment, but first a couple of announcements:

Open Source Code

Those who don’t follow me on Twitter won’t know about my latest source code publications. I’ve updated the source code page to include three new projects I put up on github, including the complete source for both ATV Loader and the BackRow Developers’ Kit.

New Partnerships

I was recently given the immense privilege of being invited to join a new mobile development startup, Pinch/Zoom, founded by Brian Fling and Garrett Murray. It’s exciting and humbling to be able to work with such a great team as they’ve assembled, and it’s great that my Morfunk colleague David Kaneda is there too. The whole thing is thanks to his random phone call to ask if I’d be interested in working on an iPhone app for Basecamp nearly a year ago now.

Whither Now?

As I mentioned above, most of my online presence happens through other means. While this blog will live on elsewhere, you’re more likely to get timely information from these new sources:

• Twitter: Follow alanQuatermain.
• Tumblr: My tumblog is where I post most longer-than-140-character things, and anything I think should persist. Most of my blogging will occur there, I think.

Sometime over the next few weeks I’ll be redirecting alanquatermain.net to the Tumblog. I don’t have any firm plans, but since cPanel here doesn’t allow for directly editing DNS address records (just some high-level things like redirects) I’ll have to ask my hosting provider nicely to do it for me
