4, 5 Still Alive!

If it's not one thing, it's another. Sure I could post on Sunday night some weeks ago, but by Monday morning, my old hosting service had done something to their servers and Movable Type no longer would let me in my own house to do the do. No amount of diplomacy or intention on my part seemed to help and eventually, the powers that be over at that old host just stopped returning e-mails. They didn't want to hear one more thing about something called Moveable Type or how I wasn't able to post my whines and sass. In capitalism, I'm told, there is such a thing as competitive markets. So I picked up my dollars and just moved over to Dreamhost since everyone and their brother seems to be connected to that particular Borg. The advantage is they have not only heard of MT, they had helpful access pages so when I finally decided to move, it wasn't entirely a disaster. 'Entirely' being subjective as somewhere in the migration, I lost the first two years of ggwoo.com, all pre-MT stuff that was hidden in some file that didn't come across. Rather than kill myself, I opted to just let it roll off...it’s water under the bridge. Anyway, sometimes I like to start off fresh and new and that means cleaning out and throwing out clutter. There was some good stuff in those two years, but a lot of it was just me cutting my teeth and getting my feet wet so I'm not nearly as distraught as I thought I'd be. Then it came down to recoding the css pages and by God, nothing seemed to be working for me this past weekend or even last night until I finally threw my hands up to Heaven and decided using an MT default template style at least initially so I could post is better than fucking around for another week trying to get a 300px white column to magically appear. So that's where I'm at. Not dead yet, as Catwoman was fond of saying.
