In case you didn’t make the connection, the “guy” is me :-)
. And also
in case you didn’t notice: my blog does not have a comment system
anymore. My reasoning for that is simple, and I can make a small list
with the major points that made me take this decision:
:-)
.I probably could list a few more reasons, but I think you get the picture. Before dropping the comment system, I spent some days thinking about whether the blog readers would like the decision or not, but after all this time I came up with this: if you, dear reader, want to send me your opinion about what I write here, you can easily send me an e-mail (see the “About” page for my address), and I will happily reply to whatever you have to say. And if I notice that the blog is losing by not having interesting discussions, I can easily bring the comment system back online (though I’d like to find another solution that consumes less memory).
Anyway, that’s it. I’ll make another post about something interesting soon, I promise. Stay tunned!
]]>For those of you wondering which comment system I use, it is called Juvia. Due to privacy concerns, I chose not to use anything like Disqus because it tracks you and your comments (read their privacy policy if you want more details). On the other hand, Juvia runs on my private personal server, and does not collect any kind of personal information when you make a comment. The cons of this approach is that when my personal server is down (like now), the blog doesn’t have comments. But that’s a minor price to pay for the respect of privacy, I think.
Anyway, I hope to have the comments back online next week. Until there, I plan to continue making posts here, so save your comments for some time!
Thanks!
