Various Happenstances of SethJune 58, 2007My plans have a way of coming unravelled. I planned to update this blog every month. But woof, I guess I was barking up the wrong tree, and had a warped sense of time. It didn't help that I got a new computer. Which is odd, because generally, the whole point of getting a new computer is to help you do things that require a computer. Unfortunately, I neglected to grab some things from my old computer, such as Dreamweaver*. This wasn't going to be any skein off my teeth, because after years of hand-coding this blog, I was going to install some fancy new blogging client, possibly Wordpress or Typepad or some such. That being the case, I wouldn't need to see the results of my code to pick knits before I uploaded it, because it would just work.** Anyway, my plans ran into a snag, and I'm still hand-coding the blog, only now also without Dreamweaver to see what I'm doing. I know I'll have to tangle with those blogging programs eventually, but I can't deal with it today. No doubt when I do, I'll have another yarn to tell you.
