About This Site

trisweb.com is Tristan Harward’s weblog. It has gone through several iterations of design and content, of which this is the latest, and I think I’ve got it to a fairly polished state. I’ve been blogging for over four years, since the summer of 2002, on various sites.
The blog runs on WordPress, Zenphoto, and is currently hosted on PolurNET, which has some great personal support and good management and uptime. Prior to that I had access to a dedicated server, but no longer. I hope to get a VPS soon to get those same capabilities back.
