Yes, contrary to popular belief, I’m still alive and so is this blog (barely). I just don’t have time to be on the interwebs as much as I used to.

I’m gonna be moving to ExpressionEngine 2.0 as soon as it is released. WordPress is great, but the fact that EE will be built on top of Code Igniter means I can create my own apps easier without the wrestling match I have with WP every time I try to renew this site (or any other site I’ve built with it in the past). WP is great for blogging and if you have simple requirements, but if you’re like me and are customising/extending it to provide CMS functionality, it can be quite a pain in the ass sometimes. On the other hand, I still greatly prefer using WP as a CMS than Joomla, Xoops, etc. Personally, I prefer getting bare bones functionality and having the option to add on.

With the decision to move (back) to EE, I’ve decided to prepare for the update by moving back to EE 1.6 and I’m creating a new design. (So what else is new? I’ve said that so many times now, but never actually been happy with any design to release it to the public.) Until then, I don’t expect to be writing much here unless there’s something that really must be said. See you after the migration…Whenever that is…Ja!

P.S. Things might be a bit shaky here as I migrate stuff. It’s not called a “sandbox” for nothing.
