Today is the first day of my new job.

Kick. Ass.

Today is our wedding anniversary.

WHUTE! GO US!

Its been 4 years since we've been married. And I have loved every minute of it.

I love you Shell.

Whoah. On March 22nd, I will have been blogging for a year. The fact that I have stuck with it for so long is pretty freaking amazing. As a general rule, I tend to be rather flighty about my projects.

I just finished categorizing all the old school entries. Next up is to clean out all the entries marked as a draft. Why is this important? My blog is my brains offline storage. If it is organized, my life is easier. At least one of my brains should have some kind of order.

Did you know...

I get on avarage 75 unique visitors a day, with a max (today interestingly enough) of 142? That is almost 2000 hits a day. (who really measures hits anymore? la'hame.)

It appears most of my visits are coming from google searches, mostly from my Grep Awk Sed post. To bad it is such a little one.

Anyway, it's interesting that I have that many visitors. astounding really.

I feel bad for not really posting on friday... or at all this weekend really.

Expect more and better postings next week.

I'm getting tired of Drupal as blogging software.

I think it makes an excellent piece of community software, but as a single-user blog-thing, it is perhaps a little much. Also, It seems to only half-work, and feels very, kludged together from many small, almost working pieces. That being said, Drupal is an amazing piece of work, and the programmers did an excellent job, it just isn't for me.

So I am moving to S9y or, Serendipity. Not only does it have a cool name, but it is actually quite nice to work with.

there are a 2 problems with S9y that I have found so far, that I intend to fix using their plugin system.

1. Most damningly is the (non)ability to theme. Though they have some kind of proof of concept that will address this issue.
2. No Collaborative Books. This is not actually an issue per-sae, Collaborative books are a bit beyond the scope of a single-user blog. But I would like to see something like it, A better marriage between a Wiki and a Blog.
3. Their category system doesn't seem as cool as Drupal taxonomy.

Of course, this list will change as I learn more about S9y

The list of developers that are building Serendipity, is outstanding, including such PHP muckity mucks as: Sebastian Bergmann, Wez Furlong and Sterling Hughes. These are names I constantly see on the PHP Internals mailinglist, and they usually have intelligent things to say. It will be interesting to see their code.

Importing into Serendipity is outstandingly easy, I just point it to my RSS feed on Drupal, and... TADA! The biggest issue however, is going to be making Drupal spit out the entire database of posts using RSS.

All in all, I can't wait to spend 2 or 3 hours, and make the switch.

Well.. I've done It. I've decided to create my own blog. Maybe it won't suck.Thanks to Jonathan and Chris for hooking me up with Drupal. I'm going to start blogging about with Plog, a Palm Weblogger. In case you haven't figured it out, I have been working with my Palm M105 lots. So lets see how this goes.As an asside, I know that drupal allows the admin of a site to allow others to transport their accounts, which is a FUCKING cool idea. I'll try and make that go.
