Whew! I have finally moved all of my Blogger entries and loaded them onto the MySQL server. It took many hours of tedious copy and paste work, but I think it is worth it to bring all that stuff with me to my new home. You better believe I backed that puppy up as soon as I was done. :-)

Unfortunately, moving comments on my own is practically impossible the way I have decided to configure this site, so they will live at my Blogger site for eternity, or rather they will continue to reside on Haloscan’s servers. So, unfortunately all your previous fun/kind comments will not appear here. Please feel free to post responses on this blog, I love hearing from my readers.

I am not so sure what I think of this template, so you can probably expect quite a few changes in the look/functionality of this blog as I refresh my PHP skills and experiment with the code. Once again, thanks for your patience and I promise I will get back to more interesting entries very soon.

Hopefully not too many people tried to stop by the site today, because I had a pretty severe outage due to my own foolishness. I’ve been trying to implement a few new features to the site, and in one particularly bad move I managed to wipe an important file that isn’t stored in my SCM because it is server dependent.

<clears throat> This is actually just a short post to warn you that there will be a pretty major overhaul to the site in the near future. The majority of this will consist of a redesign to improve readability, as well as making the site play nicer with mobile browsers, specifically Opera Mobile and WebKit.

I had to respectfully withdraw from the TTLB Ecosystem because the JavaScript required, which updates my status on it, was causing serious drag at load time for the blog. I no longer shall fight for my meat in that food chain, so the infuriating white screen while you wait for the Ministry to retrieve content shouldn’t happen anymore.
