evad.zone

For some odd reason I have suddenly decided to give up my own WordPress installation in favour of the cloudy Blogger. It’s probably a call of sentiment, as some of my the most hard-core fans might remember that the very first evad.zone instance about a decade ago was grown in blogger.com itself (back in times when blogs were totally new and were mostly used by people, including myself, to tell stories of their broken hearts or what time did they wake up in the morning and you know, something like twitter nowadays is).

However, I also felt that with my (in)frequency of postings and general maintenance laziness it’s not entirely wise to keep own WP instance, so I’d switch over to something less powerful yet easier to use and maintenance-less (so I won’t ever need to worry if clicking on “click here to upgrade WordPress to x.x.x” will blow up everything).

Starting today, I’m going to get my posts gradually migrated across to Blogger (I don’t want to do that in bulk just yet) and 301-redirected accordingly. The idea is to have blogger instance under new URL of blog.dawid.lorenz.co, yet my admin needs to get round to setup DNS properly so for time being evadzone.blogspot.com is the temporary URL of evad.zone.

So it happened – after almost a year spent with Nokia N900 as a default phone, I have now switched to Android in the form of HTC Desire Z. Being long-standing user and fan of Maemo (since N8x0), immediate switch to whole new platform naturally brings incentive for direct comparison, so here it is.

…and brought me a brand new, unlocked, SIM-free HTC Desire Z today. Yay! Seems like Santa was taking very close look to my rant about Android vs. N900/Maemo I wrote less than two months ago – thanks Santa! Anyway, I am going to use Desire Z as a primary phone from now on, yet I’m not letting my beloved N900 anywhere either and let’s say I’m putting it in “standby” mode as a secondary phone. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see how these two devices directly compare and what I’ll specifically miss from Maemo world in Android.
