If you are one of my more astute readers, you might have noticed that there have been some changes around these parts since Tuesday the 2nd of January.

Sillyness is now powered by Habari, a next generation blogging tool being developed by some familiar faces… that aren’t ready to have fame and fortune knock on their door just yet, so I won’t link to them.

Needless to say I am one of the core developers, and I am in love with this product. We decided to eschew legacy concerns and blaze forward with more cutting edge technology (read: PHP 5, entirely object oriented, full ATOM Publishing Protocol support and dead easy AJAX integration just for starters.)

We are still a couple of weeks away from a developers release, but I was too excited to wait any longer. I also believe that if I use the software everyday I will identify more places to improve it… and possibly stumble upon new ideas.

Needless to say, expect some warts here and there as I iron out the rest of the move.

I am sure there will be people wondering why I have left WordPress behind as my blogging platform of choice, and trust me I plan on covering it in detail in a later post, but for now I need to get back to work.
