I've gradually been working on moving my website away from my ISP and into my basement. And by gradually, I mean for like over a year.

For reasons unbeknownst to me, the last couple months have brought some significant progress. I upgraded my server to RH9, I managed to get virtual hosting working on Apache, I got tomcat and/or jboss up and running and I even have a movable type install ready to roar. Not too shabby.

As part of the moving process I figured I might redesign some of this site. Tonight I sat for maybe 15 minutes tying to think of something creative.

"Hmm," I thought, "maybe something blue-ish?"

Oh wait.

Screw this.

So I gave up on the whole 'thinking' thing and went out looking for something to 'borrow'. After maybe 20 minutes of that, I reached the following conclusion: most websites are ugly. The ones that aren't ugly are either (a) not so bad or (b) super ugly. Funny how that works.

Resolution: no redesign.
