I’ve Moved!

November 20, 2008

So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:

I AM NO LONGER BLOGGING HERE

In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here.

That said, this is not the end of . My wife has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.

Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.

Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.

Pic of the Day #474

January 6, 2008

Just west of the is a hill called the (’Hill of Ares’). It’s a rather large, nondescript piece of rock (very smooth rock, I should note — in many places, it’s hard to find good footing) that apparently served as the homicide ‘court’ for the ancient Athenians. It offers a pretty commanding view not only of the Acropolis, but of the and the nearby.

And it made the perfect setting for another picture of Grace, with the Acropolis in the background. (she’s so pretty, isn’t she?)

This picture didn’t need to be processed using ’s ‘Enhance’ feature; its colours and white balance were fine after processing in . It was a pretty straightforward shot, and the camera handled it very well — the only adjustment I really needed to make to it in was a bit of reduction.

Where was this taken?
