I have no idea where the name came from, but I started writing a blog called Technovia somewhere around the turn of the millennium. It started off as a project on TypePad, then Wordpress, and sort-of died around 2015 when a catastrophic database failure (read: my fuck up) killed it.
Recently I've been writing a few old-fashioned blog posts about technology and politics and using my Micro.blog for it, at ianbetteridge.micro.blog. I also have this blog, but posting content about tech never really sat well with me here.
So as a little project, I have resurrected the Technovia domain and I'm going to use it once again for straightforward blogging. I'm using Micro.blog as the backend for it, as it's much more like the kind of blogging system which you would design today if you were starting that kind of project. It's not a content management system; it generates static HTML rather than being hitched to a database; and it has a bunch of other smart features which I wish Wordpress had (for example, it automatically saves posts to the Internet Archive, and to GitHub).
Anyway, you can now follow it at [technovia.co.uk](https://technovia.co.uk), or via ActivityPub at @ian@microblog.ianbetteridge.com. There's probably RSS in there too if you fancy it.
