After a long haitus from normal society I’m actively in the process of reestablishing as many contacts as I can. If you know me and for some bizarre reason stumble upon this web page, please contact me. You can either leave your contact information as a comment to this post or email me at mike at thot dot us. If you can’t figure out how to do that I don’t want you contacting me anyway. 🙂

I should mention that you shouldn’t feel snubbed if you know me and I haven’t tried to contact you. I’m going roughly in reverse chronological order, and I only work on this when I’m in a decent mood.

I’m far too lazy to try and give this site a nice cohesive feel between the various parts. (It’s the good lazy, though – I’d rather spend my time on more productive pursuits than reinventing perfectly good software.) Maybe someday I’ll sit down and make a CSS that will work between gallery and movabletype (or two with similar properties). As for the software portion of the site, the goal was for that to be part blog, part software distribution site (for the opensource applications I write). Unfortunately it’s not very good for either. I’ll probably keep that around for a while, but slowly build a new front end for that stuff. Of course, I suppose movabletype could suffice for that as well, but I’ll have to play and see.

In the mean time, I’ve changed the front page of nule.org to point to the three separate sections. Fancy graphics courtesy of the Gimp 2.0 – which is pretty nice compared to 1.3x once you get the hang of some small changes.

Speaking of the blog – I’m dividing the various posts into catagories, but they don’t seem to be any different in how they are displayed. It would be nice to somehow separate the administrative updates like this one from the actual useful updates. Anyone know how to coerce movabletype into doing something useful with the categories?

Like all good fiction, I need to start my gentle readers off with a solid introduction to the story. Introduce the characters, give the plot and maybe some teasers to get them to come back for more (especially important in a serial work). I will warn you that the genre is horror, the characters are the flat and the story is a little slow. Those are the risks you have to take, dear reader.

In the grand tradition of blogs everywhere – the first entry in this blog is an announcement that I’m starting a blog. It could end up being fascinating or being boring or perhaps not even ever being updated, but the potential is there. Be excited.
