Adventures in Renovation

This week my web hosting company updated my server. Now my server can hold 10 Gigs of blog posts. I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do with 10 GBs of storage, but at least I get that warm, nerdy feeling from knowing it's there.

Since everything moved to a new server I took the opportunity to clean house. I upgraded to a newer version of Movable Type that has better comment spam filtering. Also, I'm trying to update some of the look and functionality of the blog. Having an ugly website is inexcusable for a designer. Spelling errors and bad grammer are perfectly good tho.

I'm adding great features like less pop-up windows, viewing posts by categories or project, better comment stuff (because I need encouragement), and a feature I like to call "the whole brevity thing." That way when I start to go into one of my boring, long-winded or overly technical rambles, those gorey details are hidden from view by default. If you really want to read it, you just click on the "Read the boring details..." link.

Anyway, in the process, I'm already screwing up the old styles and templates so stuff might look a little crappy for a while. Pardon our appearance while renovations are underway.
