With great regret, I’m afraid I have to report that Owlog, my first foray into OO-style programming, has been retired due to the fact that the code sucks.

As some of you may have seen, the code was OO, but it wasn’t really taking full advantage of object orientation. I figured this out when I tried to add a new feature (and failed). The code just wasn’t all that great. =/

So to replace Owlog, I have brought in AJ-Fork, a very nice blog which uses no database. The admin section is full of pretty buttons, I have bbcode support, icons for catagories, smilies…the works.

Earlier this morning I converted the Owlog data into an AJ-Fork-readable format. So yea. I’m writing this at Fork’s temporry location, but it should be moved onto Wintermute (OwlManAtt.com’s server) in an hour or eight.

Oh, and all of the old data is in an archive. You can see it there.
