Well, an afternoon of faffing with this and it becomes presentable, so I think I’ll switch over the links at the top of the page. The links to older posts should still work, and it’s on my todo list to move the old posts into the new system. But there’s a lot of other stuff on my todo list that are either more important or more interesting, so don’t hold your breath.

As an experiment, I’m going to leave the comments activated. I don’t know what will happen with spam and stuff, but we’ll see.

Last weekend I helped out DramSoc in their summer ball (more of which will come later). DramSoc were trying out a new equipment supplier, and they made a pretty good job of trying to ruin the ball. You can read Gary’s little rant about SET Lighting and Sound, or you can visit the ‘unprofessional cowboys’ themselves. Our recommendation is to avoid them, and take your business elsewhere.

And don’t mess with DramSoc.

What’s going on here then? Two things should be fairly obvious – firstly, due to popular demand (well, two or three requests over the last few days counts as popular in my book), I’m restarting my weblog. I am, after all, back from my international wanderings, and I had promised a few people I would start again at somepoint. Never really sure why people want to hang onto my every word though…

Secondly, I’m making a bit of a break from the past. Amongst other things, I’m trying out WordPress, which even in typing this post has spelled the death-knell for my old home-grown weblog software. Never did get round to replacing phpMyAdmin as the backend. And since I can’t be arsed (yet) importing all my old entries, I’m running this as a separate weblog for now.

I’ve got some heavy-duty faffing to do to make it fit into the rest of the site, so it could be a few days before everything works properly. So keep your hands inside the vehicle, and hold on tight.

Wave goodbye to ‘Chasing Rainbows’, and bid hello to ‘Shine’.
