Well, I finally set aside the time to get my blog back up and running, this time on Mephisto. In the meantime many of you may have noticed me posting on my LiveJournal. I’m going to be migrating some of my more recent entries from there over here, and generally reorganizing things into sections.

I’m also going to take a stab at getting a better theme going than Mephisto’s default one; we’ll see how that goes.

UPDATE [2006.10.05 15:30]: I’ve made some changes to make this theme higher-contrast and thus easier to read, but I’m still on the lookout for a different one. Things are organized generally into sections now, and I’ve added some actual links to the Atom feeds. You can now get a feed not just of the whole blog, but of individual sections too.

I may add categories back in at some future point, so that I can save those of you non-geeky readers from my technobabble. On the other hand, I may hack typo to allow me to have multiple separate blogs, and move the technobabble to a separate one. *ponders*

(UPDATE [21 Jan 16:10]: I’ve also gotten typo working via FastCGI now. Gah.)

You’ll also notice a shiny new theme to the site. It’s the Origami theme from the TypoGarden Theme Contest. By default it uses a Flash-based technique to render headlines, but this can be shut off in the top little control bar (just above the site title). You can also switch it to a fluid layout (highly recommended), change the font size, or switch the sidebar to the other side. I’m a little ambivalent about using such an intense theme, so it may change soon. UPDATE: I’ve switched back to the old theme, since the Ta-da Lists were being displayed weirdly.

Next on the to do list (as you can now see in the sidebar thanks to the wonders of Ta-da List) is to make the RSS feeds display with the proper URL (currently they’re using 127.0.0.1, which is why you can’t click on a link in your feed reader and get to the story). UPDATE: This seems to have been fixed somewhere in the transition between 2.5.6 and 2.6.0. Thanks Tobias!

stay tuned. heh.

BOOM!!!
