Upgrades and a new look

I’ve done lots of work behind the scenes (hence the lack of posts) on the server, and I got bored of the default Wordpress theme so I found a nice-looking one, edited it to my needs, and the site is not so boring!
The AP code work I started last year is about complete for the old gpsdrive database from 2005/2006, but I am currently researching and planning on moving the AP code to a much better database that holds more AP information; the only problem is that all the old data cannot be used. But as Videlais and I geocache, the data will slowly build. When I am more pleased with the quality of the code I will release it.
My “stuff” pages are almost complete; books are 100%, movies are 99%, and games are around 80%. Those pages will be pubic eventually…maybe.
Also, the site is now open to search bots, and I’ve been watching them trickle in through my access logs. Sadly, I lose almost all referrer info because of the frame mess I must do to get around port 80. But its interesting seeing hits–and at least one a day is a vulnerability scan.
I have hidden all my old Nucleus and Blogger posts because I didn’t want all that info public to the search bots and whoever finds their way here.
Lastly, I have re-enabled comment posting but all comments are moderated to eliminate spam. I don’t want to open up user registration due to spam bots and the havoc they can cause, but if someone really wants one for whatever reason, I can make it happen.
So, whats the plan? None really, this site continues to be mainly a learning platform and a place to mess around with. I can host things for people and it makes a nice development platform I can SSH into from anywhere. But as far as posts go, well, I’ll update when I have something to say. I have a couple planned out (like instructions for cloning a Backtrack4 USB persistent install) but I need to spend time writing them up.
