Get a beta segment of Lighthouse put together for testing.

the friday five

1. If you had the chance to meet someone you've never met, from the past or present, who would it be?

King Arthur...or whoever was responsible for creating his legend.

2. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be?

I guess "The Middle Ages" doesn't really count as a century, does it? Let's say the 1300s. I think I'd enjoy the feudal life, but probably not the health care of the day.

3. If you had to move anywhere else on Earth, where would it be?

New Zealand. Friendly people, beautiful country, driving on the wrong side of the road. Can't beat it.

4. If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be?

Roland of Gilead.

5. If you had to live with having someone else's face as your own for the rest of your life, whose would it be?

Michael Jackson. I'd never get bored.

Seriously, I think I'd go with Brad Pitt. 12 Monkeys style.

that was awesome

I just managed to import all my old greymatter entries in only about an hour. It just took a while to get the categories sorted out, as well as getting around the fact that it wouldn't let me log into greymatter for some reason.

It looks like I lost the line breaks in my original posts, but that's stuff I can live with.

There's still a little fine-tuning I need to do with the new layout, as well as transitioning all my other pages over. That will come over the next few weeks. First I need to update kasparfamily with the cool layout Mary Alice came up with.

Many thanks to elphaba for indirectly inspiring me to the new layout. She always has a cool musical tie-in, and that helped me finally get away from my black and white roots.

Also, thanks to Eric Meyer for the css/edge site which gave me some good ideas for getting rid of my javascript and general layout. I also own Cascading Style Sheets by him, but I'm so bad at reading a book before I start implementing things it hasn't gotten much use yet.

ok, it's time

Going to try to de-java and css-ify things. Probably won't change the layout much for now because I'm still in love with the typewriter font, but I have a few ideas of sidebars I want to add and stuff.
Wait and see...
