Enough of the drag grey. Enough of the hand-written code that’s getting on 10 years old with a patchwork of hacks, patches and fixes. Some of the code looks like band-aids on top of duct tape.

After making some final decisions, I ended up writing an import script for my old diary entries (reaching back to 2001) last night. I polished it up a bit today and picked out a decent theme.

There’s some downsides, however:

  • All links to images hosted on this site are (and will remain) broken
  • This includes the gallery – which will start to get built back out over time
  • All other pages (such as the few scripts that were available for download) are also unavailable – but some of them will be restored over time
  • My auto-post feature that’s run from another blog won’t work – so I’m going to need to either A) rewrite it to work with wordpress or B) go without for a while

It’ll come together – and it should be more manageable and expandable over the long run.
