After many years on Squarespace, I’ve moved this blog to a new home at alexstrick.com.

What’s Changing?

All my personal writing—posts about Afghanistan, books, languages, and life—now lives alongside my technical writing at the same domain. Think of it as consolidating everything under one roof.

Update Your RSS Reader

If you’re reading this in an RSS reader, please update your subscription:

• New Personal Blog RSS: https://alexstrick.com/personal.xml
• Technical Blog RSS: https://alexstrick.com/index.xml

The old RSS feed at alexstrick.com/blog?format=rss will stop working soon.

What About Old Links?

All your old bookmarks will continue to work! I’ve set up redirects so that links like:

alexstrick.com/blog/2016/08/phd-tools-beeminder

Will automatically take you to the right place at:

alexstrick.com/personal/2016-08-22-2016-8-phd-tools-beeminder.html

Why the Move?

1. Unification — One place for all my writing, personal and technical
2. Better tooling — The new site is built with Quarto, which handles code examples beautifully
3. Ownership — Plain markdown files in a git repository that I fully control
4. Cost savings — GitHub Pages is free; Squarespace is not 😅

Thank You

Thank you for reading over the years. Whether you’ve been following my posts about Afghanistan, my language learning adventures, or my more recent technical writing—I appreciate you.

See you at alexstrick.com!
