Blasts from the pasts!

I think I'm finally ready to kick this website into gear.  After a ton of development and configuration effort, I've got the foundation of features that I considered prerequisites for resuming content creation.  I.e. I wasn't going to bother adding anything new until I had the basic functionality in place.  Having already realized that I'd ended up at a dead-end with my old set of CMS tools, I just didn't have the stomach to keep digging the hole deeper with more content that I'd have to ultimately manually migrate.  As it is, it'll probably take me at least a week to pull over the majority of the old content.

So you'll notice a steady stream of old content showing up as I migrate all of the stuff from the legacy website over to the new system.  It's a little odd seeing posts from 2000, but that's when it all started!

I'm really looking forward to finally having a website work for me, instead of vice versa.  I'm not quite there yet, but there's already enough extremely cool capabilities in place with the new site that it at least feels like a completely different ball game, even if I've still got a lot of work to do.  I've essentially had my creative orifice plugged up tight with a cork for over a year now.  You can imagine the unpleasantness in that situation.

At any rate, I'm anxious to get back into the habit of regular posting/blogging/prognosticating/grognarding, etc..  Or whatever it is the kids do these days.
