Individual Entry

Even though it's still unfinished and needs a lot of tweaks, I decided to change the style sheet anyway. I meant to have a complete site overhaul (not just style change, but dump MT and restructure everything) for the 31st, but that didn't happen thanks to busyness. Then I just meant to change the style for the 31st, but I couldn't even get that done in time. Putting this live will hopefully give me that extra bit of motivation to get it finished.
I do like the style, though. Even if it is a bit "standard" in layout.
The reason I was pushing for a 31st relaunch is that, well, that was the day this damned weblog turned five years old. December 31st, 1999 was the original incept date*. Man... that's a long time ago now. A whole other millennium even!
I'm amazed by my persistence at it, though. It's been stronger here than elsewhere--I couldn't get past my second year of post secondary schooling and this morning I start my fourth job in a year (this one will last, I swear). I can't get myself to start writing the next great novel -- or just a lousy one -- and yet I have published tens of thousands of words right here. Hell, probably as much as two-hundred thousand. Geez.
Anyway, happy new year and welcome to Year Six. I'm freaking ancient in weblog terms.
Oh yes, and regarding TEH NEW JOB: I'll probably have more reason to think about games because of it, so hopefully I'll have more post fodder from that. It should be fun!
* The history is as follows. December 31st, 1999: first Blogger post to a free hosting service. More entries followed in January. Early February 2000: I moved it from my free host to my free university webspace. I redesigned it and gave it more focus. For some stupid reason, though, because I changed servers I just created a new Blogger weblog instead of just changing the config files. The older stuff, since it wasn't in the archives, went into limbo. So, in a way, February 2000 can be considered an incept date as everything has been a continuous sequence since then. May 2000: registered the domain, got paid hosting, and moved it there with a new design and, obviously, new name. That is the birth of "the-inbetween.com".
(Yes, I like big titles.)

I've only found the place recently, but from what I've seen, you are my brain twin.
That may or many not be a good thing, but it's always reassuring to hear opinions mirrored, eh?

Hey, congrats on the anniversary! The style change isn't bad at all--I like the colours and layout. Not like you should care what I think. But anyway, I salute your longevity and fortitude.
