The move to Movable Type

Voila! The migration from Blogger to MT went much easier than i expected. This was my first ever time installing cgi and working with mysql (although i did install apache and php and mysql on my linux machine a few years ago - but haven't touched it since then), but the MT documentation covered everything i had to do, and the MT support forums provided answers to my questions before i asked them.

So now, welcome to the new environment. I am still figuring things out, most notably: how to move my previous template to movable type. It will be a few days until i can get it to work - if i can, that is. So until then, here is the generic MT template that i tweaked to add my links and photos. It's just a temporary solution until i can get a decent new design together.

As a side effect of the move, all the comments that were left before the move are gone. That is because i used a third party comment system and MT couldn't import those with the entries. So now it's up to you to leave the first comment ever (hah!) on this second generation incarnation of my blog. First person to comment gets an ecard from me. :)

To Do:
- assign categories to all previous entries (done from today backwards till August 30th, 14 months' worth of entries left to do)
- figure out how to include the categories in this template
- whip up the new design
- put together a better About me page
