Recovering from near-total disaster

Due to increasing dissatisfaction with the performance of the server that hosted my webpage, I decided to transfer to dreamhost.com in February. Unfortunately, I lost all databases in the transfer, and all I have left are xhtml copies of all of my entries. While they are not lost forever, I would have to enter them one by one back into the weboblogotron to get them back. I have a dissertation to write, people! I spend too much time making this thing work as it is.

Anyway, enjoy the new look. Hopefully the website will work better now.
