jumping on the big fat nerd wagon

So, uhm, I’ve changed this weblog around a little bit.

• This weblog uses Moveable Type now, thus emulating every single
  weblogger ever and jumping on a the big fat nerd bandwagon. It also features a mini-blog, which is a way to
  post technical links and stuff that people have forwarded to me but
  I hadn’t been able to think of anything witty to say to it.

• There is also a way to change the skin of LYD, if you don’t like
  how the website looks. If you notice carefully, you’ll notice that I now
  use a background pattern from squidfingers for
  the “Goodbye, Dignity” screen. Everyone seems to be using background patterns lately —
  remember when everyones weblogs were all minimalist and white and boring and shit, and
  web designers were all, “oooh! We’re so zen! Minimalism is the wave of the future!”

  Then the stock market crashed, people went to war and no one gave a fuck anymore. The End.

• Archives from the Blogger days are not online yet, mostly because there would be
  broken image and link locations.
  Patience, grasshopper.

• I have gotten rid of that cartoon character (Dexternie) that
  I’ve had at the top of the weblog for the past 2.5 years. Before
  people start yelling and screaming bloody murder, I have this to
  say: Move on.

  I knew it was time to remove the cartoon character when someone
  recognized my weblog at a party, came
  up to me in person and said, “OHMYGOD, YOU LOOK JUST LIKE THE
  CHARACTER ON YOUR WEBSITE!”

  Now, let’s think about this. Dexternie is a
  caricature of myself. They didn’t say the cartoon guy looks at me, but
  the other way around. So, people are saying that I look like
  something that is supposed to look like me, like a wacky animated
  chartoon character writing about his bizarre life and I was just a bad
  flesh-and-blood knock-off poser. Be like your cartoon! Dance, monkey, dance!

• Believe you me, I will be adding and changing more and more things
  to this website over the next couple of days, so bear with me.

Comments and suggestions appreciated.
