Moveable Type!

6th April 2003

I finally migrated the weblog to Moveable Type. It wasn’t easy, I had a lot to figure out and the biggest problem was fixing the layout of the site.

I’m using a 3-column layout and I’ve noticed that most other MT blogs use 2-columns and now I know why: divisions! I really had a hard time using divisions and trying to get the site to look right across 3 browsers. In the end, I gave up and went back to my trusted tables which never fail me.

Anyhow I now have to fix the rest of the pages (links, about me, tips, etc) on the left and I want to add a weather applet to the site (probably php). I’ve found one on mt-plugins but it’s not a dynamically updating one. I’ve had an itch to write one myself for sometime now, so I might just do that ;)
Still waiting for the DSL at the job, all four of us are sharing a *single* connection right now :) I set up the forwarding using iptables but it’s really slow at the moment. Apart from that, the office is quite nice, a bit more posh than the previous one and lots of good restaurants nearby which I have to avoid ;)
