I finally bit the bullet and upgraded.

Davidgagne.net has gone from a loose collection of random html files to a Blogger-powered site to a Greymatter-powered site to its current MovableType extravaganza-ness.

It only took me about a year to make the jump from MT2.1 to MT2.61. That works out to about two decades in internet time, so I’m a tad behind the times. I’m furius with myself for waiting so long. I’ve missed all the cool shenanigans Ben and Mena have been incorporating and so my blog is sort of an ’82 Plymouth Laser surrounded by a world full of ’03 Land Rovers.

I’ve really been completely out of touch with the blogging community for months like a year now. Sure, I’m still Google’s #1 for Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten and good suits, but there’s no TrackBack pinging going on here, no Really Simple Discovery happenin’, and, hell, I don’t even know what the fluck all these creative commons licenses are. I’ve been busy, ok? Gimme a couple of weeks and I’ll try to catch up. (Anyone want to help me get up to speed, feel free to drop me a line.)

I managed to catch both Igby Goes Down and Unfaithful this weekend. They are both excellent and I highly recommend them.

What Is This?

davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
