Straight, No Chaser

One year ago yesterday, I started my first day as an independent contractor, after leaving a unrewarding job and a de-humanizing commute in an attempt to, you know, not hate life anymore. I am glad to report that it worked. Quite well, in fact. If you hate your job, I highly suggest quitting it immediately and getting a better one. You need to be happy.

Ok, so what’s up? Lemme tell you. I had originally taken down the blog because I was taken with the bliki idea, and was planning to switch over to a nifty little package named Leonardo, because it looked like it did everything I wanted. And it kind of does, or at least it plans to. I like the fact that it is written in python, and I liked the overall design of the app itself, but it definetly seems a little beta, which I guess I can only expect from a 0.7 release. It mostly does what I want now, except that it has no list for recent changes, and more importantly, it is horribly, horribly slow. There are plans to include page caching later, but I am impaitent, so I dropped the idea and am back to MT for now.

I did, however, finally find a piece of wiki software that I can stand, and it has been installed here. I chose Dokuwiki because it is rather full featured, has many plugins already, is not horrible to work with and skins decently. There’s not alot of info in it right now, but I will be updating it at will from now on.

Eventually I will re-design this blog, but I am lazy, so a default template will do for now.

*Update:* styled.
