rebuild
Kindly reload if things are looking odd — a redesign is in progress.
It’s probably of little interest to you and I should probably refrain from even posting about it, but I’ve spent the better part of the day working on it, so I’ll share. All of the posts have now been imported into the Moveable Type system. Even all of the old, hand logged posts are there (minus the missing ones, which is everything before March 2002). I learned a great deal about grep and how to do searches and replacements. This impressed the hell out of me because I usually am not able to figure out programing type logic, but I sailed through this.
As for the redesign. It’s all about KISS (keep it simple, stupid). Gray is nice, sophistocated. The design is pretty straight forward; menu on the left, content on the right with a header graphic at the top. Two div’s and jpg. Leaves plenty of room for flexibility in the future. The downside? No repeating background.

“No repeating background” a downside? I don’t think so! ;} (I’ve never been a fan of repeating backgrounds...)
