Observing a pattern in textpattern

// May 21st, 2006 // Fun, Textpattern

I must admit it is a lot of fun setting up a site using textpattern. Especially when it is on a windows box and apparently, you need to install PHP and MySql before you install any php based CMS like textpattern or wordpress. Trust me. It is NOT fun at all. Convincing Windows Server 2003 that PHP is not all that harmful is a pain in the butt. But heyy…i learnt so much in the process which is awesome (as long as i don’t forget it, which i will pretty soon – all credit goes to my selective amnesia. God…not again!).

Anyways…after a lot of procrastination, i finally decide to work on my site. For those who don’t know me that well, i already had a website that i had to pull down, out of sheer embarassment after i saw my colleague Jared’s site cuz mine looked like crap! Seems like he’s changed it at least twice since the original design based on which i took mine down. Not sure if i like it though. Oh well! He seems to like it and guess that’s all that matters. Jared’s online presence is referred to as “F***ing awesome” on Garrett’s site.

Here’s Luis’s joint which was built on textpattern too just as with Garrett and Jared. He said he’d help me set mine up. Hopefully when mine is done, i don’t have to take it down for at least another year. So far so good…
