Old is the New New

[robotnik2004]

Q: Why haven't I been blogging more lately?

A: I've been busy blogging.

Voila my job hunt website and Movable Type weblog www.robmacdougall.org.

The content is pretty dull at this point, I know. The site is part of my whole job hunt self-packaging, and I'm still working out how to make it interesting without ever actually saying anything at all that might strike anyone anywhere even slightly the wrong way. But I'm pleased with the look of it, especially since I taught myself MT and CSS and PHP to do it. (By trial and error, so it's probably pretty ugly under the hood.) And I'll hopefully be adding more goodies and chuckles to it in the weeks and months to come.

Visit often and link freely, and let's see if I can't wrest the top result on Google searches for my name from the Canadian Gothic guy, the guy who makes Jenni Garth icons, and my own review of Dead Inside.

Also: I owe a post on the great weekend we just had with my brother Jamie and his girlfriend Miranda. For now, I'll just say: Thanks for coming down, guys. See you in the car!

Gah! What a trove! I shall have to read thoroughly before I decamp for Waltham.

By the way, I just watched a telefilm on cable about the Avro Arrow... I never knew anything about it before. Any thoughts?

Who's a lazy geek?

I am. Silly Rob. Trying to get me to visit your actual site. Instead, with my paid user p0w3rz, I make robotnikblog. Take That, You Fiend!

Very nice design. Very clean HTML. Very good content.

Let us all gift Rob with our pagerank.

P.S.:

...

Never mind; I can't post it as a comment in LiveJournal. But I am about to post a Hollis Lookup bookmarklet on my blog.

I covet yer super-sweet site! It's got a real "old-timey" feel to it, in a good way. Cactus link is out of date, here's a worthy replacement: www.dundascactusfest.ca

Cool site, Rob. This explains the MT links and the wide assortment of fonts that have been piling up (and that I've been stealing) in your del.icio.us links lately.

Love your MT site Robbo. To hell with History academia - web design is your true calling. Good call on the no comments as well - without MT-Blacklist, you'll get flooded with spams if you allow comments on your site.

Congratulations again on the fine lookin' site!
