Redesign
Well, I cracked for WordPress 1.2 Beta – it was the occasion to get some fresh design and stuff to this site.
I hope you (the many, many readers out there :)) like the new design and I will make sure that there is lots of new content, rants and ramblings around here in the future.
Update: As for the reasons, there are multiple:
I feel more at ease with PHP than Perl. This simplifies hacking and adding my proper extensions.
I like the “dynamic” aspect of WordPress
I had an occasion to rework the visual design. After all, it took me a mere 2-3 hrs to do the transition.
