where life, drupal, and coffee collide

Starting Anew

In rebuilding my slice at Slicehost (referral link) in order to upgrade to PHP 5.2, I somehow failed to make a database backup of my primary site, this blog here. This may seem like a very silly thing to do for someone who often advocates with customers and clients that you should backup on a regular basis, but... what can I say? My sites are often left neglected in lieu of working on things for other people.

While I know I have a backup somewhere, I decided it might be nice to start anew. A fresh beginning. A clean slate. It's been a long time since I've updated my site on a regular basis, anyhow. Perhaps this freshness will give me some motivation to fill up some space.

So here we are. I apologize to those who have made their way here by searching for things to find those articles gone. But really, they were outdated, anyway.

I've decided to start with the Acquia Slate theme. It's dark, but not too dark, and feels clean to me. I have some ideas of customizing it, but it suits me well for now. I'm also using Acquia Drupal's new Subversion repository, which is going to make updates so much easier.

More to come!
