I finally fin­ished trans­fer­ring and cat­e­go­riz­ing all my old entries into my new Movable Type lay­out and it took more than 10 gru­el­ing hours. Reading back on some of the entries was quite enjoy­able, to see how I’ve pro­gressed since last sum­mer. The cur­rent lay­out has only a sin­gle table (for the cal­en­dar) and the rest is done with div tags and CSS, which I had to learn. I’m fairly pleased with the lay­out though, as Trolley and Aaron helped me check cross-browser com­pat­i­bil­ity. I now know to never use ver­bose font sizes, only numer­i­cal ones if I ever want browsers to dis­play a page in the same way.

John drove up over the week­end in order to attend my con­vo­ca­tion. The cer­e­mony wasn’t nearly as painful as I expected, although it did last over three hours, not includ­ing the painful pic­ture tak­ing after­wards. I shook hands with a very grace­ful chan­cel­lor on stage. Pat bought me an alu­minum clip­board with dual paper com­part­ments as a grad­u­a­tion gift, which is great.
