My usual route to work, the most direct one of all the possible ways, is undergoing some kind of construction where it passes the college. So I’ve had to appease my commuter impatience by going another route and taking parallel roads just a little bit out of my way. In doing so, I’ve discovered a couple of things.

I decided to switch from Greymatter to MovableType this year because I wanted to be able to provide RSS feeds without having to come up with a plug-in or a work-around. It’s a small price to pay to give people what they want, but I can’t avoid the learning curve involved—there are new variables, new scripts, and new ways of doing things. I no longer need to shave my…
