With the slow, gluttonous holidays put behind me, the tasks of the New Year are finally here. I've spent the last two days finalizing our online advertising strategy and getting the creative sorted out for our new campaigns.
I'm also working on a comprehensive and badly needed redesign of Jlangenbeck.com. It's going to be done in valid CSS & XHTML and I'm either going to build or use a content management system to handle populating my portfolio. Because of my great experience so far with TypePad, I'm experimenting with Movable Type to accomplish the task. I've installed MySQL and PERL on my Mac and am working on configuring MT tonight. It's quite an arduous task for an Apache and UNIX n00b like myself but I'm getting it done none-the-less.
So we'll see how it all turns out. I really hope I can make MT do what I want it to because the information structure of this site is one of my best ideas ever. I'll do whatever it takes to ensure that it gets built the way I have envisioned it.
Time for a banner change on typepad huh?

Is it a sign of age or maturity when a nice night at home is what you really want to do...

It's a sign of a balance and good intentions, I think. All I want to do these days is hang out at home, cook great meals, read books, watch movies and work on creative projects. The Good Stuff.

Sounds like fun! Hopefully I'll be disciplined enough to keep up with my skunk works projects when school starts. If you need any help just gimmie a holler. I'm thinking of taking off Red Hat and installing Gentoo or FreeBSD on the desktop.
I hope MT works for you. If it does, let me know your secret. I will be building a blog for someone around mid February. If MT is as customizable as reported I may be saved lots of coding.
