Welcome to Ray's Blog

Recently launched, the aim here is to explore issues around software, design, platforms and the Web.

Beyond the words on the page, let's examine the software behind the words. I built, or rather, hastily assembled, the software on this site. The code is cobbled together from various open-source projects, plus my own contributions. Written in Python, it runs on Google App Engine (GAE). The software may change as we explore other cloud-based development platforms (Bungee, Heroku, etc). Right now it's all a big bucket of moving parts.

The blog-commenting facility is still being built. Soon, I will have a general-purpose mailto here.
