Mondays are sometimes the worst day of the week, but for me, it’s my day off … In most instances, this is a good thing, but this Monday is an OOT Monday … It is also The Whiskey Tango‘s Christmas Party … not to mention that there is a Skylab match tonight that I will miss … This is also probably the first “real” entry in the MovableType Weblog that I have made … I spent yesterday installing and configuring it before watching the Eagles loss to the 49ers … Then that night I took all the entries from the old bLog and put them in here … After I did all that, I realize that there is an import feature to this one, but I didn’t use it …
The other reason for this is that I did a search to find the possibilities to host ASP pages on a FreeBSD Server … I put in Google “Apache ASP” and a site that some guy did just like this one had a reference to asp2php … Because Chil!Soft sold out to Sun or something, it would cost about $495 to enable an Apache server to run ASP pages … asp2php is an open source app that will convert the language instead … I liked the way this guy’s site looked, and I found that he was running MovableType … So I visited MovableType’s website again and reviewed the requirements and lo and behold, I figured I would give it a shot …
You see, Franco from Bigg Romeo has been telling me for months that bLogs were the wave of the future for web sites and that I should look into getting something and setting it up … I set up a bLog for him just like the one I was using here. I don’t know why he wasn’t into it or whatever, and I know that the MovableType Weblog was one of the examples he explicitly sent me to, so here we have arrived at this version of DavidPierron.Com …
I’m not really into how these Weblogs are CSS based … either that, or the CSS is written poorly … I have made little changes here and there, and the one that bothers me the most is that it will sometimes throw what should be seen on the right (calendar, etc) and wraps it down to the bottom of all the bLog entries … A table wouldn’t do that … So I have to read up on CSS a little bit and see if there’s a way to change that … Right now it’s called a “float” so maybe that’s the keyword to mess with …
Anyway … That’s about it for now, I must get back to the OOT and getting as much done as I can before I have to go to my place of work on my only night off … So much for Mondays off … =(
