Blogger is by no means an ass butt. Neither is it perfect, but nevertheless, I was somehow able to fix my problem via the tedious process of manually changing information. This may sound bad, but I actually have quite a high threshold for tedium, and so I was able to do it without going insane.

While I was fixing up the date/time problems with my earlier posts, I decided that, since I am now a subscriber to Blogger Pro™ and can perform such operations, I would go in and convert all my pre-Blogger Daily Heys to Blogger format, so that they could be accessed via the archives just like every other damn Daily Hey I’ve ever written. Not that I did much writing on the old ones. Back then, a Daily Hey consisted of a single picture with a snappy line of text underneath, and an additional snappy mouseover caption. But the result of adding these is that my archives now stretch back to February 2000, over two years ago, which seems unreal to me for some reason.

Of course, much of the material on my satellite pages – Drawing Is Fun, Scrivenings, The Juke-U-Bus, and OneMegPlus Theatre – is well over four or five years old by now, and has been on the web far longer than any Daily Hey material. It’s looking less and less likely that I’ll ever update the latter three of these, although I’ve always intended to.

I registered the domain lucubus.com back in 1998, and since then the page has had approximately five different incarnations, of which the present one is by far the most successful. I say approximately because the third design had a number of variations. But overall, the transformation of the site into what it is today has been fairly organic; that is to say, as things have become trendy on the web, I have seen them and said, “Ooh! I want to put that on my page!”, and stole ideas left and right. Stealing is organic, isn’t it?

Hey, there’s nothing classier than a webmaster talking about the history of his “domain”. But I never claimed to be better than anybody. Just prettier.
