Aching Brain

Welcome to version 4 of Aching Brain. It’s been an awfully long time, but I promise to post more often.

The major change is that I’ve switched from a custom back end to pre-written blog software as maintaining it became a bit of a nightmare. I say maintaining - what I mean is writing new versions of it as who wants to administer crufty old code when they get home? AB4 has been in the works for over a year but I never seemed to be able to finish it without wanting to re-write great big chunks of it so I’ve bitten the bullet and gone down the shoulders-of-giants route. And I have to say, so far it’s been relatively painless - the only thing that’s really given me trouble is getting apostrophes to play nice in code tags, but more on that later.

All the old content should be here somewhere. The only difference is a slight change in the URL structure but a little bit of .htaccess fiddling should mean that incoming links still point in the right place.

If you spot anything amiss, do let me know.
