If you work at either Google or Microsoft and you have had any hand in MTP or the demise of Android's MSC, then you deserve to die. Fuck you and go to hell.
And to all those employed by Google and Microsoft: Quit trying to be Apple, you worthless goddamn subhuman shits.

Why do I insist on not calling this a blog? Call me out of date, but when I think "blog" I think "LiveJournal".
(Feeling deja vu?)

It had been bugging me forever, but I've finally gotten the CSS for comments fixed. I think it got screwed up (along with many other things) waaay back when I upgraded TangoCMS.
So anyway, now the article comments don't look like crap anymore! Yay!

The "Newer TangoCMS version available" banner in the control panel finally started annoying me enough that I made the mistake of upgrading my TangoCMS installation. A bunch of stuff broke. Then my webhost switched me to another server and that particular version of PHP broke things even more. And my attempts to fix it nearly nuked the DB.
So for months, this site went through various forms of brokenness.
Now, after some DB micro-surgery, a few months, yet another server change, and some blind dumb luck, it's basically working again. Except the side-bar navigation. That's still thoroughly hosed. But I ain't touching it.
I am working on a completely home-spun system, written in D (no more PHP bullshit, I've had enough of that piece of shit excuse for a language), which will fix all the things I hate about this and every other off-the-shelf CMS I've ever come across. Not to mention a new webhost (VPS or bust!). But it's not ready yet, and I don't know when it will be (as a pet project, it's unfortunately on a pet project timeframe). At least this incarnation is more-or-less hobbling along in the meantime, though.
EDIT (2011.09.24): Comments are still here. I know there's no link that says "Comment" anymore, but just click an article's title or "Read more" link. The comments will be there.

Well, I've gotten the hell around to it. Whee!
I've moved this not-a-blog from dev-scene.com to my own web space. And I've switched from WordPress to TangoCMS in the process. Also, comments are back on ("Whee!" again).
Dev-scene.com is a great site. I have nothing against it. The reasons I moved this away, though, are (most important to least important):
I'll probably be posting more frequently again now. I had been avoiding making posts for awhile because of #1 above. (Triple "whee"?)
