got my old site fully working locally! my last data dump was in March of ’04, so i don’t have the last few blog entries, but who cares? i have my entire old website out of mothballs!
i just need to copy it and tweak it for the new blog system, add in some of the tweaks i did for the (sadly, now defunct) VAT magazine website, do other things i’ve had my mind on, and test the hell out of it (since i don’t have hosting yet, i’ll need to make sure it runs with register_globals either on or off, and on either PHP4.x or PHP5).
i think i’m going to go for another redesign, while i’m at it. that way, i can finally include some of those kooky sci-fi skins from the old Mars STS project (a barebones content management system i wrote, which featured a theme switcher, loads of translucent backgrounds, and best of all, automatic file detection, which let you upload the file and forget it – no more making links on every page!).
this is going to take time i simply don’t have, though. i will probably have to puke out something quick just to put stuff on for a time while i revamp the site engine yet a-damn-gain.
this time, i promise it will look cool as shit and have better content. i’ll probably also post public bookmarks via XML (and run a linkchecker this time, cronjobs willing), so if you have the Firefox extension you can sync, see and surf the best of the ‘net right along with me.
