The esteemed Mr Handelaar recently opined that Websites should join the list of Laws and Sausages as things you shouldn't see being made.

Can't argue with that, and I'm exposing the guts a bit here more than I'd like. But you'll have to live with that, eh?

Anyway, as you may well have noticed, my old site went a bit Pete Tong the other weekend. I was upgrading Plone to the most recent release, and the data migration all went Pear-shaped. Result: no site.

I've been pondering moving to Drupal for a while, as my home server just doesn't have the heavy lifting to cope with Zope/Plone, and I've been mightily impressed with Drupal at both PurPur and Evolt. And this is the push (funny how disasters prompt The Great Leap Forward, isn't it?).

So, the site is here. This theme's a bit pret a porter, and it'll develop once I've lived in it a bit, and when I get time to work on it. I've moved from the initial Bonsai theme to one of my own design. It's all fixed width, based on Golden Sections.

The old content's still over in Zope, and as it's not in a standard RDBMS, extracting it and porting it will be a bit of a manual labour. But I'll be bringing it back as and when I get time, and it'll be at the same old URLs thanks to Drupal's Path module, so inbound links will still work.
