OK. So, I finally moved the back-end of this site over to Wordpress from the (now slow, bloated, buggy and unusable) Movabletype 4. I also took the opportunity to completely redo the design. It is heavily based on TypoXP Reloaded (linked in the footer).

More customization is coming, obviously, as well as the laborious task of deciding what to retain from 8 years of random clutter on softlord.com.

Anyway. Enjoy!

Starting with a new look and focus to this site. Stay tuned.

My apologies to the RSS readers out there, over the recent move to FeedBurner, I neglected to ensure that the full text of my postings were syndicated, as MT defaults to partail.

I know I hate when other sites do that, so…

Should be fixed now!

http://feeds.feedburner.com/sdcblog if you need to resubscribe, though I have it set up so you don’t have to if you’ve subscribed to any of my other feeds.

To continue in the grand tradition of Fleshbot, Daily Kos and Andrew Sullivan, I proudly present the birth of my brand new blog:

Cute Girls in Stupid Sunglasses (CGiSS)

Look out Denton, I’m comin for ya.

As of today, this blog is officially…

A few changes to ye olde websitee:

- I was trying out the del.icio.us auto-post thing which resulted in some ugly ugly blog posts. So now, if you turn your gaze just a bit to the left, you will see the brand-spankin (dirty!) new linkblog section, complete with its own rss feed. This section will house sites that I thought were interesting enough to keep a record of, but not necessarily substantive enough to dedicate an entire entry to. Links are occassionally NSFW, but you can usually tell by the title. It’s all powered by FeedDigest. Thanks, FeedDigest!

- In order to make room for that, the entry archives and monthly archives boxes have been merged.

Enjoy!

Site should look relatively normal in IE + Mozilla now, due to a few stupid CSS hacks.

To celebrate, everyone should Terri Schiavo’s Blog.

You know you laughed.

You’re all going straight to hell.

Top ten lists aren’t usually my bag, but I found this one about follow-ups to one hit wonders to be particularly amusing.

And yes I know the layout looks all wonky in IE, I’m working on it.

But really, if you’re still using IE, isn’t it time you do yourself a favor and switch to Firefox? Here’s 101 reasons why you should.

First off, can we all agree just to never use the word “poker” in any trackbacks or pings so i can add the word to my blocklist?

Also, how much more music would you buy if songs cost a nickel?. I know I’d start using iTunes from a consumer-side.

In a moment of ego, I Googled sdc[blog] and was directed to Erik from FreshlySqueezedSoftware’s nslog (which I read anyway but admittedly have been a little behind on), and specifically a post about anyone who donated $50 or more to the EFF being added to the default feeds of PulpFiction, and lo and behold there I am, in with the legendary BoingBoing and Engadget.

Okay, so it’s not as cool as getting there on the merits of the blog itself (quit laughing… I see you laughing!), but still, I hope that at least a few people keep the feed and read my corner of the web on occasion. And if you do, feel free to let me know so I can link back to you.

Enjoy your Tuesday, I’m off to go yell at iTunes for screwing up a promotion.
