Rebuilt
My MT database was shot by comment spam. After trying to restore the database for several weekends, I finally decide to reinstall the latest version from scratch. Tried to import all the previous entries and comments. Could not import the PhotoLog and a few older entries that kind of had hundreds of comments. Some new comments are lost. Anyhow, I'm back and will update the styles and templates over the next few weekends.

Hipster PDA
It's been about a month since I switched to the Hipster PDA. It's working great so far.
- They don't need batteries
- They don't need maintenance
- You don't need good light to read it
- You can have as many as you want, they are so cheap
- You can customize them any way you like
- You can write on it. None of this Graffiti rubbish, just your normal handwriting
- They don't break
- You can make your own interfaces and applications
Pair the Hipster PDA with the D*I*Y Planner cards and you're golden.
