Back, finally

Well, it's been an exciting week or two. I've had all kinds of server troubles, leading me to finally switch to MT (nothing against pivot -- I just had to move everything to a MT server for reasons unrelated to pivot). The blog templates are still just the default MT, but at least I'm back up. I've got a backlog of good photos to share and all sorts of things have happened in the meantime that I haven't been able to blog about, but eventually I'll be able to get things caught up around here...
While I sort things out, here are a few tidbits:

• I did eventually hook up with joe -- nice to meet you! I hope we cross paths again soon!
• Check out Team Icyhot! and...
• I finally made it to check out the new exhibit at Faith/Works today. It's highly recommended! If you can't make it over by April 2nd, you can still check out the art on Fridays and Saturdays.

More later...

Housekeeping, with a little snarkiness on the side

If I were to say that slowly but surely I'm getting things up to speed around here, the emphasis would most definitely be on the "slowly" and not so much on the "surely". I'm still wading through the pivot templates and configuration files and trying to wrap my head around how they all relate to each other, but I'm apparently not quite seeing the full picture yet. I made some changes this evening but then had to roll them back when it turned out I broke everything, so things may stay as they are now for a while longer (unfortunately, I am going to have to return to my job at some point this week!).
So, while I try to find the time to continue tinkering with the layout, please let me know if you're having any major problems with the current configuration and I'll gladly see what I can do in the way of adjustments. (Unless, of course, you're using IE -- in which case I'll still try to fix things, but first I'll probably question your continued use of that bug-ridden, virus-infected, non-standards-compliant disaster of a browser that's good for nothing this side of crashing your system. And then, just for the hell of it, I might also ask you why you're not using a Mac. ;-))

Happy Housewarming!

Welcome to the new blog...

For the curious: I'm using pivot. I hope it works out well, because getting the posts and comments moved over from LiveJournal was a big, fat pain in the arse. ;-)
