WOW I did this

I suppose this is my first real blog posting on my on site. Getting this far has been pretty difficult, but I did it, with some skript kidding and some beer.

First and foremost, I learned the hard way NOT to trust so-called "established" blogging software. My site is (currently) hosted by Yahoo!, and it took me a million days just to figure out that their MySQL shit is configured in a totally different way than other less-proprietary hosts. Not only that, but their version of MySQL is like 3.something something, so that totally barred me from taking the easier path (Wordpress...)

Then there was the whole problem with actually inserting the thing into the main page without 1) using FRAMES (ick) or 2) redirecting the user to another page (tacky). But I found a very simple workaround.

I don't lead a very glamourous life. This is how I spend my nights. I have a big bed, and I sleep next to the computer like a lover.

Don't judge.
