Now that the black dog is finally off my shoulder (yes, this is a Manics reference) I find myself no longer so depressed that I hate web design. The bottled creativity is exploding like champagne bottles in a saber factory. In the past two weeks I've pushed forward on the work site redesign -- I'm probably only two days of coding from having a final proof after sitting on the design for two months, er, years. I put together a wedding website for some about to be nuptialed friends. And now... I'm firing my former web hosting company and moving to a new one, swapping IIS for Linux in the process. That's right, I'm swapping ASP for PHP, Access for MySQL, the comfort of Microsoft for the challenge of open-source.

In the process, I'm also working on shifting from Blogger to Moveable Type. It's not that I don't love Blooger. I love Blogger. But, I decided I want more control, and I need the challenge. I think I'll also set Susan up with something, either with my Blogger account or a MoveableType setup. She's been hinting that she's been looking at getting a LiveJournal, so I need to intervene soon....
