Quick housekeeping note:
[tl;dr] This site has moved from scottk.mba to sknight.xyz.
The .mba domain carried, at least for me, a subtle implication that this was some kind of professional or business showcase, which was never really the intent. This has always been meant as a catch-all personal site—whatever I’m reading, building, or thinking about, not just career stuff. sknight.xyz is simply a more neutral home for that. As an added bonus, it’s also cheaper to keep renewed.
If you’ve got the old domain bookmarked or you’re subscribed via RSS (I’m flattered), you don’t need to do anything for now. scottk.mba now redirects to sknight.xyz automatically and preserves the full path, so an old link like scottk.mba/dont-wait-to-be-free will still take you to the right post instead of confoundingly dumping you on the homepage.
For anyone technical who cares about the details:
I had to be careful with the RSS feed here. Feed readers track what they’ve already shown you by each post’s guid, which is usually just the post’s URL. If I’d let that regenerate naively under the new domain, every post I’ve ever published would’ve gotten a new guid overnight and probably surfaced as “unread” all at once for anyone subscribed. To avoid that, every post published before today keeps its original scottk.mba guid, frozen in place and marked as a non-permalink identifier rather than a real link. Anything I publish from here on gets a domain-independent guid instead, so this isn’t a problem again if I ever move domains in the future.
Everything else is unchanged, same me, just a new address. Update your bookmarks whenever you get around to it, and thanks for reading.
