Considering a site overhaul
Damn this site is looking old! I’m going to have to change the theme one of these days. Hopefully I will have time after I submit my thesis in January next year. I will no doubt start working in late February, which will give me a month to work on a few little projects of my own, or to just have a good long holiday before I start full-time work in industry.
I am undecided as to whether I will use another blogging system, or continue to use WordPress, but with a different theme. There is nothing wrong with WordPress, except that I would like to start hacking my own blog, and I really don’t want to do that in PHP. Now that my hosting is with TextDrive, I am restricted to PHP, python, and ruby on rails apps. This rules out any possibility of using OpenACS, which is a web application framework that I’ve been using for the last 5 years. So it might be a good opportunity to do something different with rails or django.
