Looky here, it’s only been about 8 months since my last post. I have reasons, most of which aren’t good, but I’ll blame work and moving and all sorts of other stuff you’d all rather not hear. Mainly, I don’t know if I was in a six month long existential funk and finally came out of it, or I just finally have all of my passions converging at once and feel like writing (venting) again. So, lots of posts to come in the near future but I’ll give a brief synopsis of what’s happened since the last post:

January

– Yes, I still owe all of you the conclusion to the Sugar Bowl story. I don’t really recall all of the cool stuff I was going to include, but I’ll hit the high points and embellish what I don’t remember.

April/May

– Got to go to a pretty sweet conference for us lowly government IT-types and have some cool stuff to say about that. Also, on the way back I got word that the EX finally decided to close on her refinancing of the house, so I got me some money. That didn’t last long. Paid off my debts, which was actually a detriment to my credit (oh, there is SUCH a rant coming about that) and then I moved. In with Whit and her heathen, and mine every other week. And we’ve managed not to kill each other. Yet. read this entry »

This month. Being that I have the lethal combination of OCD and ADD working for me, every time I see something shiny I HAVE to have it and make it work. I was pretty happy with the old CMS, but it was a shit ton of work just to run a blog and a message board. Then, lo and behold, I fell in love all over again with a new message board. Basically, I wanted the ability to send PMs with the board, and e107 didn’t offer it with theirs. It may have been an extra module, but I’m too impatient to deal with that shit.

So, I’m pretty happy with WordPress and pretty happy with the message board that I’ll put on line as soon as I have a spare couple of hours. I also have an assload of stuff to post – yeah, I know I’ve been saying this throughout the 843 redesigns I’ve been putting you through – and some of it is time sensitive, so that’s coming pretty soon. I’ll probably take a month or so to put all the old posts back up, just so it looks like I’m updating daily and maybe, JUST MAYBE, Google will notice me again. So, yes I did it to you again. No, I will not do it again any time soon. I like what I have to work with, so I’m happy. Until the next shiny trinket crosses my vision……
