Dr Nic’s Tumblelog
Everyday I have 100s of blog articles to read [Ed: mostly I read the title and press the 'N' button], so I’m fearful of dumping random ideas and links into this blog. This blog is for dumping random code chunks and releasing fancy-pancy new projects. Its mostly devoid of opinion.
Solution: a tumblelog 
full of random scraps and chunky opinion. By random I mean, things related to Ruby, Rails, Javascript, etc that fit nicely amongst the things we all care about already. Plus pictures of me and my family, because I’m just narcissistic enough to think you might care 
Tumblr made it too easy to not start a Tumblelog.

you’ve just spurred me into looking into it myself. The ability to completely rewrite the template and assign custom domains is incredible. They’ve really put some attention to detail into this.
oh… and I look forward to your ramblings too!
@Tim – you are a sad, twisted young man, then
Man. Tumblelogs used to be cool. Some of us still host them ourselves, you know! Upstream! In the frozen woods! 10 miles! Dammit. Time to move on to the Chaoslog perhaps.
@evan – I’m over 30. I don’t have a My Space page. I am the epitome of “Web 2.0 Uncool”. Let me have my tumblelog in peace
The only problem I found until now is for posting code chunks – Tumblr just does not crok
@stoyan, no definitely missing code formatting. Hopefully they add it in the forseeable future.
If you turn off “Rich text editing”, “Filter HTML” and add Dan Webb’s syntax highlighting js library you can get nicely formatted code using Tumblr – I’m enjoying it muchly.
Good, but Tumblr still insert extra new line inside the pre tags: see http://tt.zhekov.net/post/84483
Boy you guys are speaking greek to me!
But I wanted to throw in on the joy of tumblelogs and caution on how easily they become addictive. kind of like Nicorette gum, you chew it to stay away from smoking but it becomes harder to quit than cigarettes.
Not sure how that equates… Oh yeah, it is so easy to post everything you see it takes discipline to properly control or edit your posts so the volume doesn’t overwhelm your audience.
