On the upside, I now no longer feel like a jerk for archiving those old sites with their flash content intact.  Oh yeah, and I don’t need to reboot anymore to make sure everything is loading properly.

Still some housecleaning work to do around the website, but most of that stuff will be user-transparent.  Once all that’s squared away, I’ll be ready to go “officially live”, which essentially means I’ll be spamming my url all over God’s green internet.

Just kidding.  With all those diesel generators keeping the net’s uptimes in the tens of nines, “green” is probably the least appropriate adjective you could use.
