So it is done.
It took most of the day, as the true upgrade procedure isn’t exactly seamless by any means. I also had a lot mysql queries (that I’d worked out previously when I made my first half-assed attempt) to run so that things actually synced between my heavily modified b2 and wp’s ‘fun’ new way of doing things.
Thanks to the ability to moderate comments, well, I think I’ll turn them back on — for various newer entries only — until I get sick of the idea again. I’ve done just fine without any comments for an extremely long time, and I’m not going to bother displaying how many there are anywhere on the index, just because I’d get sick of seeing ‘0′ all the time. ;)
I did, finally, decide to slash apart some of the more idiotic code, I just couldn’t deal with the stupidity and lack of… variability. I still think, for all the ‘good things’ that have come with wp, so many of the ‘good things’ that made b2 what it was, a simple and effective tool, have been torn out.
The decision though was ultimately if I’d write into my hax0red b2 some of the things that I wanted or I’d tear out the crap from wp… tearing out the crap is easier. So, here were are, with all the spit and vinegar required, I’m using wp.

Matthew and I have been casually talking about putting together a book, consisting of nearly everything necessary to be someone with style… for those that haven’t quite mastered it just yet.
Part of this has also been bolstered by a certain man I’ve been inviting to dinner. He’s always quite interested in the recipe for whatever it is that I’ve prepared, and unlike some, I actually provide those recipes.
So, the first step in this ‘book process’ is compiling recipes, menus, and other useful bits of cooking and entertaining information. In order of usage by date, here they are, now available on food.indiboi.
