Not to say that the folks at the Berkman Center don&#8217;t allow for a nice blogging experience, I just want a bit more control over the functionality and presentation of my personal newspaper is all. This is why I use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latex-project.org\/\">LaTeX<\/a> rather than Microsoft Word or some other WYSWIG document processor. [Also it minimized the number of times my roommates would ask to use my printer while they were here. But that wasn&#8217;t ever immediately my intent.]<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, as it would happen, for me, WordPress requires access to Php and MySQL &#8212; a scripting language and a database. Undergraduates can&#8217;t get a hold of these fancy internet toys, so I can&#8217;t host this thing on my school account. So, as I pride myself on my resourcefulness and fickle compulsiveness, I hunted down and installed an Apache sever on my laptop, configured Php and even created a MySQL database. Now I can post, but, you, my reader, cannot access my posts. At least, I&#8217;m not sure that you can reliably.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m investigating what sort of privileges I have at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gsd.harvard.edu\">Design School<\/a>. Yesterday I remembered that I might have an account there. And I do; you can send me email at my GSD account, and I can masquerade as an architect in training on the internet &#8212; something that doesn&#8217;t sound fun enough to do. But if I can use their computers to host my blog, perhaps I&#8217;ll change my tagline to &#8220;Because I don&#8217;t go to the Design School.&#8221; In the meantime, I&#8217;ll figure out how to import and coordinate and keep everything at the Law School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can find my NEW BLOG at http:\/\/jreyes.blogdns.com!
