What follows is the story of my life.
I have lots of un-fun things to do: collating lists of mailing addresses, researching boring interviews, filling out forms, buying shoes, etc.
I have just discovered one fun thing to do: playing around with Movable Type to create an archive of every article I’ve ever written.
Which one do you think is getting done? (And how much of a geek am I when “modifying perl scripts and creating category-specific cascading stylesheets” is on the “fun” list?)
