Moving house

2008.06.11.

Welcome to this new home for my virtual professional life. My old site has been a cobweb site since 2005 or so. I hope this move will make it easier to update on the fly from anywhere.

Let’s see, this WordPress site is my 4th virtual home, since my page was born back on 25 June 1995 at Princeton. Back then, the web was mostly non-commercial, a typical page looked like today’s blogs, and one had to code pages in html. Fortunately, there was lots of time back then to do just that while waiting for bacteria to grow, DNA to amplify, gels to run and stain, and column samples to elute. After moving back home, my page went back to Manila too– reborn on PacificNet on 14 August 1998, moved to the Ateneo Chemistry Department server in 1999, and mirrored on aegis.ateneo.net in 2002-2004. Somewhere along the way, I started doing webpages using Frontpage and similar software instead of writing in html in a text file. And now, this page is housed at WordPress, where all I need to do is type my text and click. Lots of things have happened in the past 13 years!

Welcome to my new professional world! By the way, some of my pages had migrated to WordPress in the last year (my biochem classes, for example), while I’ve been experimenting with multiply for my outside-the-classroom ruminations. Oh, and if you want to see my old site, it’s at http://www.chem.admu.edu.ph/~nina/index.html.
