Hello Readers, new and old!

For about the last 5 years, xentek.net has rocked the same look and feel, and in the last 2 years or so updates had slowed to a crawl. Well, I finally got around to dusting off the ol’girl, upgrading WordPress (ashamedly from some pre-release WP 3.0 to absolute 3.4-alpha), switching to a slightly tweaked version of Darryl Koopersmith’s Hum child theme for twentytwelve, and re-kajiggering my deployment process. I’ve removed a number of pages and assets, as I pretty much started over from scratch (importing my content into a new blog, instead of upgrading the existing one).

Hopefully by completing all of these long overdue upgrades, I will finally get back to putting out new content, and indeed I already have. I freshened up my about page, and updated my contact info. I’ve also cleaned up my the pages linking to my open source contributions, and added a few new items:

• JavaScript / CoffeScript projects, including feathercache, a lightweight wrapper around HTML5 localStorage.
• WordPress SQL Update Generator, which will generate the necessary SQL update statements to help move a WordPress site from your local to production (or any other server environment you may have).

I can’t promise that I will write on a regular basis, but with a fresh start, I do hope that I’m more inclined to do so. Thanks for reading, and happy coding!
