I try not to blog about blogging in general. For one thing, it is somewhat like a circular argument. Also, I don't have any cool technical tips or profound insights on the nature of blogging and its role in society.
So, on the whole I use the blog merely as the medium to convey whatever I want to waffle on about at a given time.
Having said that, a few things have been going on recently.
For one, you might have noticed that it was not always available whenever you might have wanted to look at it.
SixApart, the folks who write Movable Type, the software platform on which my blog is built, has released a major upgrade version.
My precious one has been playing around with various different flavors of Linux, each one supposedly better than the other.
I have been eyeing some cool plugins and gizmos that add functionality to blogs.
And a while ago I change the layout and appearance from the tulip banner (which started to look a bit gaudy and over the top to me) to the smooth mocha latte which it turned out that you all hated (and that bored me to sleep after a couple of weeks). So that had to go.
So, this layout has changed, mainly in terms of color scheme for now.
Movable Type has been upgraded to version 3.2
Right now we are running on Fedora instead of Mandrake (although MPO is mumbling about a more recent Mandrake version that he is testing on another computer right now).
We're working on setting up virtual hosts for easier URLs and new templates for the archives.
And I am scouting around for various plugins and cool little javascripts to do things which you might never notice but I might love to play with.
Oh, and at some stage I want to update the gallery pages.
That's about it, for now.
