I spent just under 6 hours last night working on this single page alone in various incarnations, Moveable Type is looking very likely as an option for a changeover very soon. I’m off work tomorrow but not going to Dublin as planned, so I might get it done then. This weekend was to have been the 30th birthday of a friend who passed away in the middle of last year and there is a large “birthday party” going on and a memorial on Sunday so the trip to Dublin is off. I should have been leaving tonight. But back to the subject…

I was working in UltraEdit for most of the night [Side note, I’ve been using this for about a year now and it rocks. It’s perfect for all your text needs] and it was mainly lines and lines and lines of HTML and so forth. It’s kinda strange when I finished I realised that a) I was really really tired and b) I was starving. Thinking about this it’s kinda strange, when I’m doing the same thing in work or any sort of “coding” there, I always notice what’s going on and stuff, but when I’m at home working on stuff of my own 6 hours can pass without noticeing anything or indeed without moving. Anyways I thought that was worth noting.

Meg has been talking about brand loyalty recently, basically that’s the reason I’ve not moved straight over to MT. I like Blogger…alot. Its very simple to set up, very simple to use, has to much extra stuff going for it (choice of comment system, bloggerbots etc), but it’s also a little limiting. I’ve been really happy with everything Blogger has done (well until last night) and I W3c’d the blog. Yet here I am now actively preparing to move to a new system. *sigh*

oh and yes damn you AOL!. Because of the caching systems used, Meta tags are ignored. So my robot meta tags and my smart tags meta tags and my script type meta tags are ignored by anyone connected using the AOL service. That would be a large percentage of the internet and ME damnit! (via Iain)
