Starting Anew

Well, I’m unhappy with the previous layout. It was too kludgy. And borrowed. Not that I would plagiarize. Ok, so the new layout will be spiffy. But you know that means I’ll be a perfectionist and you’ll never get to see it. Mwuhahahah! Ok, one major change so far is a more sane layout for the “Archives”—I mean the permanent link to this article will be like /blog/2004/01/16/starting_anew.html or something logical, not /archives/0000565.html. So it’s a little longer than before, but that’s life. This is just so much better ™. (Well I’m not sure if it’s trademarked, but I like using that hah!)

New Style Sheets

Well, I suppose I need to learn CSS style sheets to make this thing look pretty. Right now I’m trying some that I found online. I kinda like this “stormy’‘ one, but it doesn’t look so good w/o enough content in the left column. Maybe that’s a sign that I need to write more here :-).

ITLabs

Well I finally got this thing setup over at ITLabs. The confusion was mostly over perl, as /usr/bin/perl was version 5.0.something that didn’t have a lot of modules (namely DB_File) available. However, with a quick switch to Perl 5.6.0 (/soft/perl5.6-bin/perl) fixed everything.

Ahh, such is life… more later.
