Hi. I’m not dead.

For the past few weeks, having totally recovered from my surgery, I’ve been slacking off on my online duties. That’s not to say that I haven’t been away from the PowerBook. I’ve been working — very slowly — on a redesign for my friend’s label Bop Tart Records and hitting my head against a wall on the design. I know what I want to do. I know that I want to use mootools to do it. I just don’t know how to get there.

So my routine has been to load up the mootools docs, the mootorial, and TextMate and bang away at a few things that never quite come together. I know I need to just get the basic functionality in place and then worry about the style elements but it’s difficult to be inspired by ugliness. So, I just give up after a few hours and pledge to try harder later.

I also need to change this site from the prototype and script.aculo.us setup I’d put in place to mootools. Unobtrusiveness is particularly needed. I just. . . keep slacking off. I want to make progress on the label before doing too much to my own site.

For you, gentle readers, I will make every effort to do just that. My apologies.
