The Sites They Are A-Changin’

truckin.jpgSo here’s the deal: After months of bitching about the performance of my blog’s CMS, I have decided to do something about it. I am currently in the process of migrating all my content over to WordPress, which I’ve found does not crash and burn at random the way Movable Type does.

I won’t bore you with the details, but the upshot is, you probably won’t see a huge amount of content here–if any–for the next few days, since it doesn’t make much sense to keep adding posts in the current system while trying to implement a new one. It’s like hanging pictures on the wall while a fresh coat of paint is still drying.

My goal is to have this all wrapped up by Monday, at least from a content migration standpoint. It’s going to take me a bit longer than that to get the blog spiffed up design wise, but first thing’s first.

Thank you for your patience and your support during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the PHP include of your choice.

Scratchbomb Status: Keep Calm and Carry On

golf-fan-stretcher.jpgSo things appear to be back to normal-ish here on Scratchbomb. My crack team of troubleshooters and IT experts (i.e., me) managed to restore the site after destroying it, making Scratchbomb stronger and taller in the process.

You sharp-eyed folks out there might notice a few small changes from the way the site used to look and perform. If you do, give yourself a gold star. If not, just know that there are forces out there you cannot possibly comprehend.

Happy reading!

Site Blown the Eff Up, Please Bear With Us

In my attempt to enhance this here site, I somehow managed to destroy it. I won’t bore you with the details, in part because I’m not 100 percent sure what I did, but suffice to say I undid several years of meticulous CSSing and make-nicery.

I am slowly trying to restore Scratchbomb to its former glory (?). I hope you will bear with me as this process grinds on in excruciating fashion. In the meantime, please be aware that I will continue to Tumble over at Holy Goddamn! (Don’t forget the exclamation mark; it’s like Wham!)
