Well, I can't put this off any longer.

Some people who read this blog know that I have a website. A website that I don't link off this blog. A site that hasn't been properly updated since 2006, and hasn't been properly redesigned since 2001.

I almost let my domain name ownership lapse, but got a couple more years at the last possible second. I realized recently that's because I just can't stand to look at it anymore.

After 8 years of Java/JSP/HTML development geared towards W3C standards and accessibility, and 5 years of grad school, I have been itching to tear everything down and start over from scratch. It's really a better solution than trying to upgrade what's already there.

It's not just the code, though. It's the content. A lot of my old fic... ugh. Well, let's face it, a lot of the stuff up there was written when I was in high school and I twitch re-reading some of it. And some portions of the site just... I don't know, I don't want it up there anymore.

This isn't going to happen until after the semester's over and I've recovered from the last semester being over oh god May 18th but - it's definitely going to happen. I'm going to be pulling huge sections of the site down and starting over again. I don't know how long it will take, so if anyone asks when [insert whatever here] will be back, I won't be able to give them an answer. I just know I can't leave the page as it is. It's not me anymore. It's not necessarily that I've matured (I'm still as crazy as ever), but... I shouldn't look at my website and go "meh."

So. Yeah. Consider this a heads-up.
