Great! You found us. Let’s get on with it then.

Richard and I had a grand idea to start a blog to go along with our new website, screencasters.heathenx.org This will help keep everyone informed of what we are doing . It probably wasn’t absolutely necessary since we could have written about the universe right on our web page, strictly in HTML. However, a blog just made the most sense. Besides…HTML is just too boring, right?

Not only will we be able to talk about new screencasts, Inkscape, the length of our beards, or whatever interests us in our online lives, we’ll be able to do it in a format that is more productive for us. Furthermore, our RSS feeds will be generated automatically. This is a big plus since we were manually writing our feeds before. I recommend “hand coding” things at first so one gets a full understanding of what they are doing. On the other hand, WordPress cuts out much of the leg work. Now we can concentrate on “writing” a post rather than “coding” a post.

Personally I have never considered myself much of a blogger. Always felt like my life read more like War and Peace rather than The Catcher in the Rye. Although…Inkscape and screencasting are subjects that I am fond of. In the very least that will give me something to write about. Richard, on the other hand, has an interesting blog of his own and has for sometime. I recommend it. He’s definitely not a greenhorn to blogging like I am.

Just like our web site our blog may undergo some changes while we get up and rolling. It’s hard to keep our fingers off of those customize buttons. We’ll try to keep everyone informed along the way. So we hope you enjoy our blog.

Now…back to my Cameron’s cappuccino and the Twin Peaks marathon that they’re playing on the Chiller Channel…

Happy Independence Day!
