So I woke up this morning hoping to do a server migration and instead I was met with a whole bunch of errors. Errors I should clean up before moving everything around. So that's what I spent all day doing.
Fail.
My website blurb is currently for me, not for you and the small about section reads:
I've wanted to organize my thoughts for future reference for quite a while. I thought maybe a person or two could find something here useful. You probably won't since I'm not writing for an audience. While you are welcome to visit, this website is intended for me, not for you.
Well, apparently, I'm not the only one who blogs for himself, according to a recent survey, 48.7% of people blog as a form of therapy. This was the most common reason given, with politics a lot further down the list than I thought it would be. Anyhow, I was thinking of changing some stuff, I was thinking of changing my blurb to be through my eyes or maybe from my point of view. Not sure yet. I'll probably change the about section to read:
I've wanted to organize my thoughts for future reference for quite a while. This website both organizes my thoughts and opinions as well as serves as a therapy session. You're more then welcome to look around.
I was actually productive this weekend, got a lot done. I even found time to start adding the static pages to my website. So far, I only have my GPG and CAcert pages up, but I'll have more, as well as a few pictures to post.
On a totally different subject, I can't wait to get back to school. Work sucks.
I've changed the software that runs this website yet again, I'm back to Drupal. While WordPress was simpler and more focused on blogging and design, I still found it lacking. That and I like the development methods of Drupal more as well. I've migrated content, but not all of it. I won't miss it and I doubt many other will either.
So I've changed the software that runs my site to WordPress. I haven't changed much really, just a small tweak to the way categories are listed. I use the default theme, haven't changed anything really, been busy looking at the new landscape. Stuff seems sort of fragmented, but here's what I've found:
WordPress also seems to suffer from comment spam on a greater magnitude than the previous software, Drupal. Rather than delete a dozen or more a day, I've installed CSPAM. So far, I've had it running for a week and no sign of spam. However, I'm pretty sure that if a comment is deemed spam, I don't even get emailed. That means any false positives will be totally unknown to me. Due to the nature of CSPAM, this will have slightly worse than normal repercussions.
Next on my list of things to do is change the look, and I will be using the WordPress Design Sandbox to do so. It allows me to rewrite a template without having to edit the PHP by hand and upload it to the server to see if the changes are what I want. Now I can edit the XHTML and CSS locally, get my site done as I want it, and than just migrate that to the PHP in WordPress on the server.
As I've previously mentioned, I've moved this site over to WordPress which I think will suit my needs better.
I've decided to stop using Drupal for my website.
