New blog!

So, another new page – and with proper hosting too! As you can hopefully see, I’ve flawlessly transitioned (thanks mostly to Ross Burton) from blogger to PyBlosxom. If anyone’s interested in the script I wrote to do this, here it is (I warn you, it isn’t pretty!):

A script to convert blogger html to PyBlosxom entries
