All change please
Re-done
It's taken a while, but I've finally re-done the whole site in a modular way. I was so close to succumbing to Typo.
This should mean a lot more useful stuff on the site, and hopefully some more pictures. If you'd noticed my old articles were disappearing, it was because I was too lazy to implement a pagination system. Beautiful Rails to the rescue!
For the short term, though, it'll mean a large drop in PageRank and a loss of a lot of content. It would take too much time to migrate it all over, and a lot of it was old hat anyway.
I was sad to abandon the idea of an open-source Python and XSLT-based development environment. But, with using Rails at work every day, it's hard and somewhat pointless to reinvent the rapid development environment wheel.
I hope to release the source code to the engines I use on this site just as soon as I've made sure it all works. Although the development has been test-driven, there are still a few cracks I'd like to fill before releasing code that could potentially harm my own site :)
Re-design
I'm painfully aware that this design is looking a little naff. I want fancy things and AJAX goodness. But that will (and should) come after this thing gets working.
