In technical news, I have this fantastic idea for Skip the Budgie but restrictions in Roller prevent me from doing it, so I finally decide to take the plunge and buy skipthebudgie.org through Joker.com and get an account with OpenSourceHost.com. My other site, which will be slowly demolished is written using Drupal, an open source CMS that I really like. Building that site taught me a hell of a lot about PHP and web sites in general, as has Skip The Budgie, so I'm confident that I can get my new site to look almost exactly the same as this, but with some considerable improvements.
This is why I've been so quiet lately - busy coding! I am especially pleased with the Audio Module that streams music with a funky play button. So expect ALL my tunes, both badly recorded and incomplete to be available very soon, you lucky people!
The big problem will be how to move all my content over into the new database, which I'm working on... Don't get me wrong, Jroller has been good to me, I just want more from my web site than this. More control, more flexibility. With Drupal (or similar), you can do anything. I don't intend to do quite as much as I attempted over at Slave to the Music - it'll still be *just* a blog - only much, much better.
So watch this space...

...well okay, you win this time! But after Christmas it will be mine, oh yes... You shouldn't let me play with my presents so early honey, have to save SOMETHING for the big day!
