I hope you like the name. I think it’s rather optimistic and catchy.
As you can see, if you were a blogspot reader, I’ve imported that blog in its entirety here. Most of the posts are now categorized. This is already a huge benefit if you are only interested in certain types of posts. I’ve spotted a couple posts where the import didn’t work, and I’m trying to clean those up ASAP.
The look and feel is pretty generic and incomplete at the moment. Over the next few weeks it’ll all get completely revamped. I’m kind of excited to have a database-backed, cgi/servlet enabled web host available to me, as I’ve only been able to host static content in the past. As I get familiar with how that stuff works, the non-blog content should get more exciting.
So, I still have all my old contact methods available, but now you can also contact me like so:
- jabber: richard@movethemarkets.com (googletalk users should be able to contact me via googletalk, though not through the gmail chat interface, it seems)
- email: richard@movethemarkets.com
[EDIT: gmail web-based chat users who want to chat with me must (ONLY ONCE!) add me to their gtalk contact list from another jabber client (such as GoogleTalk or iChat or a multitude of others). Then, once I have accepted the invitation, it looks like the gmail chat interface will understand that it is possible to chat with me. I tried it against my own gmail account, chatting with myself on side-by-side windows.]
My webhost is also a jabber server, so I could conceivably set up a conference (group chat) if enough people want to chat during the trading day. Might be cool, if enough people are interested.

That is a great domain name, Richard. I am surprised it was still available! Nice find!

Thanks. I’m pretty pleased with it. I wanted something that, if someone verbally told you the name, there would be no question how to spell it. So many interesting names are ambiguous. I’m still getting used to all the control I have over wordpress.. this morning I published a post as private by accident, and had no idea I was the only one who could see it!
