Well its time to update this site and do a little refactoring. Got the blog software converted to Ruby today. But the rest of the site is gonna need a little more work. My simple content management system for the howto pages was written in Python which I haven't worked with in quite some time. So I'm gonna need to convert that to Ruby too. So if you see anything messed up on the site over the next few days, you'll know why.

Once the blog software is complete, I plan to post open source versions of the software on a separate web site. So in the coming days I plan to make some posts about the blogging software and why I wrote it. The software is essentially a simple file based scripting system like blosxom or something like that. But, instead of using some sort of custom text format, everything is done using XML standards. More posts on that to follow.
