A triumphant return

After months of delays, false promises, and distractions, Unschooled is back.

Since I last posted, dear reader (readers, even?),  much has happened: I graduated from engineering school, started my first full-time job, and moved into a new apartment. There was more, of course, but this site has never been about the nitty-gritty details of my life, and just because I updated the banner graphic does not mean that is about to change.

For the curious, the resurrection of Unschooled was delayed in no small part by the fact that I spent more time geeking out than getting the site back online. I switched hosting providers twice — from bluehost to VPSLink to Slicehost, where the site currently resides. I switched web servers twice — from Apache to nginx back to Apache. And I switched blogging software three times — from WordPress to Byteflow to Movable Type and back to WordPress, albeit a newer version. Needless to say, none of this was actually necessary in order to get the site back up and running.

So, despite my best efforts, the site is back, to which I can only say,

Welcome back.

nicholasbs Note I said new, as I got to see Raiders screened a few years ago. Note also that this is the first new-to-me Indy movie in about 15 years.

nicholasbs I'm going to see a new Indiana Jones movie tonight on the big screen for the first -- and almost certainly last -- time in my life.

nicholasbs Limonata -- when purchased in large quantities on Fresh Direct -- can be had for only 65 cents a can. Dangerous.

nicholasbs Woohoo! We now have full communication between Python and the Aethersense! Next step: write sweet games.
