Once upon a time this web site had comments. Most likely when it was cobbled together in the form of a bunch of C++ cgi scripts. Those were the days! I ran across the code in one of my archives a few months ago and couldn't begin to comprehend what I had written.

I have to admit it is hilarious to go back and read about all the frameworks and languages I've tried over the years (2002 Really?!?). I've migrated so many times I'm honestly not sure what happened to any of the old comments. Probably ended up in some archive with the picture database I had created years before flickr and picasa were around. Do I sound old or what?

And here in the present again it's time to give it another go. The changes have been in place in my mercurial repository for almost a year. Not sure what the hold up was? The most likely answer: Life. After looking back at some of the really old posts I realized how fun it is to have some insight into what was going on and what was important enough to write about. I wish I had done more! I'm hoping to change that going forward. And the more I do it the easier it will become (and hopefully better).

Not much for technical details here. Used the built-in django comments framework which turned out to be quite simple. Still some rough edges to be worked out, but it is a start. Release and iterate right? My templates are already a mess after a nice clean start a few months ago.
