I was going to be pretty much off the air today, being Father's Day and all that. The daughter's not feeling up to it though, which is to say I got stood up.

Does that stop me though? Of course not. I been getting less and less stressed about writing on weekends anyway.

Totally on another topic, my link reorganization project has definitively become a major site upgrade. I'd said for quite a while I wanted some community features here, and since I'm changing so much around I figure I might as well do the whole nine. I still haven't decided how crazy I want to get with keeping permalinks intact, basically because there's but so many of my posts I myself am impressed with.

I've been fooling around with different server side scripts. What I've settled on is:

Drupal : because it supports, well, everything. I can give registered users a blog and let unregistered users comment (as 'Anonymous', which I am cool with.) Registered users will also be able to vote on articles, blog posts and comments. A simple forum will be part of the site so users can start conversations even if they have no blog (I haven't figured out how to give them things out). And any page can be "bound" into a book that not only has hierarchical navigation but a print mode…which is what attracted me in the first place.

The test site isn't fully configured, but you can fool around in there, secure in the knowledge it will all be blown away before I start getting productive. I think I'll have to do some actual coding to get exactly what I want but not nearly as much as I expected to.
