My many fans have many ques­tions. Why wont you return my phone calls? But why can’t I use vegimite as a fab­ric soft­en­er? Will Episode 2 be bet­ter or is the world doomed to suf­fer fur­ther?
And most press­ing of all: Why Sor­d­din­ham?
There isn’t an answer, but the more I use it the more I feel it suits. Some peo­ple sug­gest­ed that it had neg­a­tive coni­ta­tions, but I don’t real­ly care, per­haps to a small degree I think thats good.
Any­way, the name is here to stay, I know that for sure.

For those that haven’t heard I’m back in town now (and have even read through the 200 spams I got while I was away).
And yes Alan, I did change the col­or scheme, but with CSS that only takes about 3.5 sec­onds, where as a full post should be well thought out and care­ful­ly planned.

Well, hav­ing had a good dig through Mov­able­Type­’s tem­plate sys­tem I’m now very glad I changed over. Sure theres a bunch of fea­tures I’ll prob­a­bly nev­er use (such as ’email to a friend’), but there is also a lot of neat stuff I’ll be sneak­ing in as time goes on.
And then there is the ever chang­ing lay­out. At least it now feels like a cross between the old and the new. The whole site is due for an over­haul, but first I’ve got to nail down the page, every­thing else will flow on from that.

Actu­al­ly, now that I’ve had a nights sleep I’ve fig­ured out how to get Mov­able­Type to use the file names that I want so there will be no cahgne to the old links. There will be no webrot and no cob­we­bing going on here… at least not today.
Hmm, too many of the recent entries have been blogs about this blog… which is get­ting a bit wierd…

Well, as you should have noticed, I’m now run­ning my blog through Mov­able­Type. All of my old con­tent has been moved over, and for peo­ple who care about such stuff there has been only the slight­est change in the names. Pre­vi­ous­ly the indi­vid­ual entry files were zero-padded to 8 char­ac­ters, now it’s only 6, but oth­er­wise it should be the same num­ber. So what once was 00000132.html is now 000132.html, get it?
Any­way, for a while the old fiels are still in place, and I’ll prob­a­bly replace them with aut­o­for­wards when I feel like mak­ing 164 html files.
As you can see I’m still set­tling in here, haven’t got to the lay­out or any­thing much yet, but this default lay­out is nice enough to be able to start using it.

Well, as you all know I only start­ed the whole blog thing to play with the soft­ware, and now there is new soft­ware so I’m play­ing with that.
Don’t wor­ry, I am actu­al­ly work­ing on some new sto­ries and so on that will be pub­lished here just as soon as their fit for print.
I’ve been a tad busy over the past two week. Real life things have been get­ting in the way, set­tel­ing into a new study rou­tine and sort­ing out my fina­cial sit­u­a­tion.
I’ll fill you in once I’ve got this new sys­tem up and run­ning.
