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.

I did this simple website redesign a couple of days ago, never really bothered to check it in Windows… It looks perfectly fine in mozilla, firebird, safari, mac ie, etc. I’m here at Patrick’s and randomly decide that I perhaps should see if it looks right, haha! Well, it looks okay, but it’s still screwy. The margins and paddings on the .entry class look a bit off, more precisely the white of the entry class extends quite a bit below the actual box than it should. Bleh… I guess I should have known that winIE would fuck it up. ;)

My last redesign had some issues, and while this isn’t terribly different it fixes some of those… I was also just getting very sick of seeing that blurry image and the orange everywhere… it was getting to feel a bit too “halloweenish” overall.

Hmm, I forgot about this earlier, but yesterday (the 25th) was this website’s “birthday” of sorts, back in 2000.

Listen up, if you’re leaving a comment and your URL has anything at all to do with selling something or the bible I will delete it at my earliest convenience. Oh, hell, I’ll just remove the ability to make comments, not like it happens often anyway.
