As the band Rush once wrote: plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. This blog started out in 2002 using the MovableType blogging engine. That was probably the best-of-breed at the time, and since I was a Perl hound, it just seemed to work best for me. Sometime later, however, I got tired of the problems of moving it from one machine to another, and trying to get installed all of the various modules it required, so I moved it to Wordpress.

Well, after several days of waiting for this or that to happen, I believe the site is now up and running! First we wait for Verisign to add a few HOST entries for the new DNS boxes…. Then wait to finally get around to installing several Perl modules required by the blog software…. Then a router goes down! Hopefully this all means that it will be smooth sailing from here on out!
