Site Maintenance, Kinda

Normally on Tuesday nights I sit up and hack away at some music-related post to brighten up your Wednesday morning. It's usually some rant about music, a CD review, or a rant about music masquerading as a CD review.

However, this Tuesday night I'm doing no such thing. Tonight I'm actually starting to hack on the site. Will you see any changes on Wednesday morning? No. You probably won't see anything new next week either.

But I'm tired of this technical to do list as long as my leg that's been lying around for over a year. I'm tired of making excuses about why HickoryWind.org looks and acts like it was cobbled together in my microscopic free time, even though it was cobbled together in my weekly five minutes of free time.

I'm sick of it. So I've decided to make working on the site a high priority for the next several weeks. I'm making it a higher priority even than writing a post each week. Well, I'll try to spin off a quick "what I've done this week" sort of update, but it'll be technical, dry, and short. Look to Stacy, Sean, Amanda, and if he ever wakes up, James, for your music-related goodness.

This week? I'm choosing a new ISP. We've definitely outgrown our current Internet Service Provider, and I'm looking for something with more bang for our buck. I think I've already chosen it. More news on that later. Also, I'm still working on my development environment here at home. It's almost completely set up.

You're going to hear me working on several invisible behind-the-scenes sort of infrastructure tasks like for a bit. Then, boom! A noticeable change. Boom! Another one... and then hopefully it will snowball from there. We'll see.
