ghotifish.net

Welcome to the new ghotifish.net. (I’ve decided that the name shouldn’t be capitalized.) As you’ll notice if you glance at the bottom of the page, ghotifish.net is now running on Movable Type 3.0. We’ll assume this is a good thing. The administrative interface sure is more attractive that the system I had slapped together. So its got that going for it.

The look certainly won’t stay the same for long. This is the default css; I don’t want to look like I just went to Ikea and picked up the same logging software (I’ve also decided that I will struggle to avoid using the ‘b’-word) as everyone else, though that’s pretty much what I did.

The entries below are just there to take up space, really; it’s easier to make stylesheet decisions when the page is full. The text was generated by a nifty tool at www.lipsum.com, which also provides some equally nifty trivia. If anyone who can read Latin reads this, I’d be interested to know how closely the sentences fit the grammar. Are they just random words? Random complete sentences? Based on n-grams of some sort? (EDIT: I’ve removed the filler entries, since I’ve now got enough legitimate content for things to look right.)

Some readers will, at this point, be getting a bit impatient—where is the news about living in Minneapolis, working in tech support, and purchasing bicycles? Those readers will have to stretch their patience out a bit longer; I don’t think I have it in me to write the Great American Life Update at the moment. I expect it will trickle out over the next few weeks.
