When I redid my website I fully intended to keep a regular blog, but, as is often the case, life got in the way before I could get into the habit. It has been a long few months and I've been pretty busy. Some of the highlights were:
I've spent the last few days building a new website. My old website was lovingly hand coded in html, was very fast and easy to maintain. However it didn't have automated updating of the events block, a cool calendar or rss feeds. Now I could have done all that by hand, or written some perl scripts to automate the process, but there are so many great content management systems (CMS) out there that I decided to use one.
