Okay, you know the drill. I just finished switching from Greymatter to Textpattern. I’m going with the theory that everything looks pretty much as good as it did before, since it wasn’t a redesign or anything, but the process of getting moved over was a bit of a pain so if I’ve missed anything let me know.

Recent posts are now in the archives, of course. I guess the only really recent post was about my gerbil, in case you missed it and you were curious. I know, mind-bogglingly fascinating as always.

The archives and photo gallery pages still link to the old index. I will deal with those soon, but it has come to my attention that I have papers to write, so it may be a couple weeks. Or it may be tomorrow while I am procrastinating. Only time will tell.

I have finally succumbed to new technology and have an RSS feed. (I recently wrote a paper about blogs for one of my classes which made me realize how horribly behind the times I am about such things.) I was initially a bit stubborn about setting one up (going with the theory that if I pay to have this website and spend a significant amount of time designing it, damned if I’m going to let people read it in an aggregator or on Livejournal or whatever. You WILL look at my spiderweb picture dammit.) But as it stands I have it set up so that the first sentence and a link show up in the feed, so technologically enabled people will at least know when I’ve updated and have one-click access, and I can still get people to come here instead of reading it in their friendslist. Then everyone feels warm and fuzzy and happy.

I started keeping a post-it note of things I intend to post about again. At this point my notes are outgrowing the post-it. So if I haven’t been posting much it’s not exactly for lack of inspiration, more out of the desire to get my schoolwork done. Look for lots more posting over the summer as I become completely nocturnal by working nights all the time!

Is it weird that I never noticed the flute in “Daydream Believer” until like yesterday?

Okay time to run to school and get a book!

Okay, now that the design seems to be (mostly) under control, I am just typing more things to see what this puppy looks like in the RSS feed.

And then I swear I am going to get some sleep because this is just ridiculous. Unfortunately 3 am is starting to feel like a perfectly normal time to be awake.

I really should listen to the gerbil when he scrabbles around and wakes me up at 9 am, instead of rolling over and grumbling at him.

All righty, this contentless post is now complete. Yeeha.

perfectionist that i am, it is driving me nuts to have to leave the site looking like this and run off to work, but that is exactly what i am about to do. please do not make any judgments about my web designing ability based on this monster.

with luck everything will be back to normal in a few days.

Here we go again—I’ve gone and switched blogware.

Right around the end of the semester when I have many other things I ought to be doing.

Clearly I am insane.

But once I get this up and running, it is going to be awesome.

It’ll be a little while before it’s all up and running again though.
