So I thought I should put something up here, since it's been awhile. This summer while I'm at Amazon I think I might do another site redesign. I'm not sure yet - I've got some cool ideas I'd like to prototype first that require PHP 5, which my web host hasn't upgraded to yet. Maybe I'll get Brock to give me a sandbox on one of his servers. If that happens then I probably won't try to port all of these old blog entries over to the new system; the changes I'm thinking about are fairly large even on the database level, and I don't feel like trying to manually convert ~4 years of old entries.

While I'm on the subject, it's interesting how long I've been doing this whole "blogging" thing. There are 3 years, 7 months worth of old blog entries in my archive, going back all the way to freshman year of college when I still called them "rants". You should go back and read them sometime - I've moved all of the depressing ones to be hidden unless you're logged in, so it should make for a fairly entertaining read.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand. I'm also hoping to get started on my online version of Overpower this summer. I've learned a lot over the past two semesters that I think will really help me in implementing this. I feel like I'm at the point now where this is doable, if I can find the time. Realistically I probably won't be able to get a version out this summer, but I would like to get some more of the design worked out in my head.

As a final note, thanks a ton to everybody who wished me a happy birthday today. You made my day.

All the rest of you suck ;).
