Bugger This!

Six hours ago I said that. I decided I might as well do the VS redesign myself. It's not too flashy, but I think it's pretty. It was even fun to learn a bit of CSS. I've finished the design and code for the front/home and think I'm going to spend the weekend sorting out the other pages seeing how they should flow.

Originally I was going to switch over to Chyrp, but after looking at the way it handles theming - well, it is a 1.x release - I decided "Fuck no". So here's a chance for me to update to MovableType 4, which apparently is a nice upgrade. The new "stand alone" pages that use your theme means I can make unique/non-blog entry content on important pages. I'm not totally sure when I'll be making the switch, if I can get the code finished by monday then template zapping it usually takes a day a most.

Along with all this I'm going to be overhauling the folders and uploaded stuff, organizing it properly and separating old content from the new. So expect things to break in the next two weeks.

On a separate note, I'm enjoying Protector, a pretty nice tower defense game.

Edit: Upgraded to MT4... That was... Painless (so far). Woo!
