The Newness of it all
Site upgraded to wordpress 2.0. The upgrade was painless, the only real reason I upgraded was because of the new import functions in this version. I can finally import all those posts that I kept sitting around in a Moveable Type export format, it only took 2 years for me to get around to importing these. So, if you look in the sidebar you will see archives of sillyness stretching back into the the nigh unimaginable past July of 2001, the date of the inception of this blog. I’ve probably never stuck with anything of my own volition this long in my life. The only problem is that March 2002 - January 2003 is missing. Nearly a year of blog posts is gone, including the end of my senior year in high-school and the first semester of my freshman year in college. It’s a pity I couldn’t find those somewhere. Ah well, we cant have everything.
Unrelated to any of that above, I thought I would mention that I have been reading CS Lewis lately, his space trilogy is very interesting, I’m currently starting the 3rd installment, That Hideous Strength. It’s very good, and I think CS Lewis throws more incomprehensible words at a reader than any other author. I hadn’t noticed it as much in the other volumes, but this one is nuts. It might be the odd mixture of British colloloquisms and french academic vocabulary that was probably much clearer to his contemporarys. It’s nearly impenetrable to me in some places.
