I have finally brought my old journal archives into a more integrated form for Dwelling. You might notice the "This Week In History" links on the left hand side of the page. Those links point to the entries from previous years that correspond to this week. Those archives now have the proper header and footer HTML that the rest of Dwelling has, which is a step in the right direction.
As well, all of the non-entry articles that I usually called 'Extras' are now part of the still-in progress Articles section at OrderSomewhereChaos.com. The extras for 2000 are pretty light, but I've got three for 2001, and a couple others that I'm planning on adding once I've written them up.
I'm really working to get all of my personal web sites well situated. For my own purposes, here's where I'm at:
OrderSomewhereChaos, (Formerly: For Placement Only, Formerly s.u.r.f.a.c.e): Moved to new domain, New header graphic in place. Need to re-title all of the pages (simple multi-file search and replace in BBEdit should handle it). I should do a more thorough check of the pages to make sure that each link works, but I can also watch the error logs closely to find that out. In the process I've begun moving my code towards XHTML, the first step of which is to make all my tags lower case.
Redirects: It looks like the re-directs from the old server at smartnetworks.net are working well. I'm also capturing the referral links that are coming in and once I get a good pack of them, I'll notify the site keepers to update their links. It's interesting. This is the first chance I've had to really see just how much traffic FPO actually generates, as I've never had access to any server stats.
Once the smoke clears, I'll probably drop everything down to the root level, out of the /~rosso/ directory which is really unnecessary now that the whole domain is mine.
Dwelling: I've got the journal moved over to bad-seed.org pretty well and it looks like most of the links to my journal have been updated. I've got the proper redirects from Smartnetworks to OSC to B-S.org working pretty well. Check it out: http://www.smartnetworks.net/~rosso/notes/ If you get all the way through it, you should end up back here. Archives: All the archives are moved over and now have the proper navigation in place. All links to Extras //should// work.
XSSI Library: My redirect log from smartnetworks is showing me that the XSSI Library has quite a few fans. Perhaps I ought to get it in better shape, and add some more articles. It never really evolved quite the way I wanted it to, though it does have some good info, if you can find it. The Library has moved over to OSC and the redirects are working well.
Regex Library: Never finished. Moved but need *lots* of work. It's much further along than the .htaccess Library, however.
Bad-Seed.org: The Nick Cave stuff have moved into the /cave/ directory pretty well. The Cave Inn stuff is still all there and the redirects from the old Zephyr site are still hanging in there as well. Pretty amazing how long that site has survived. I think I started that in .... 1994? Maybe '95.
Crime and the City Solution: Incomplete, but it's got a pretty good structure to work from.
Absolutely Volkswagen: Our Club web site is sitting pretty and is working quite well, though I haven't had much to update of late.
Of course there are other minor site out there that I have a hand in, but this covers the bulk by far. I've tried to make sure that all of my old URLs point to the new sites and locations as well as possible. It's tough, but some well placed XSSI and .htaccess files have done pretty well for me.
Lots of links to maintain, lots of pages to keep track of. I wouldn't wish this sort of thing on any but the most anal of digital organizer types.
