Brain... dribbling...out... ears....
You know, finally updating your website after a scary amount of time leaving it untouched sounds like such a good idea in theory. Then you do it and after a while your eyes glaze over and your brain starts dribbling out of your ears.
Granted, part of this is due to an update that includes a total site redesign. If this was just putting up new stuff (or at least comparatively new stuff) it'd be no problem. Cut and paste into the already existing template, FTP your little heart out, jack's a donut there you go. But with the top-down redesign I keep getting caught on little fiddly crap like random places I put in old email addresses, or non-obvious links, and what have you.
On the plus side I have a program that allows for massive search and replacing, so to some extent once I've broken everything down into its new organizational level it's easy for me to zip through and replace the old template with the new one. It's just oh so brain numbing in the meanwhile.
This post brought to you by me sitting here and staring balefully at some of my early early stuff and wondering how much I or anyone else gives a crap about having it on the website. (And my sense of denial about all the stuff that hasn't even been coded to the point where I can do a massive find and replace on it, Pet and Protocol I'm looking at you.)
I need to eat. Or go for a walk. Or both.
