How a Fusion Drive Ate Our Gopher
mariteaux
If you follow Somnolescent, you'll know we're big fans of the gopher protocol and formerly maintained a server at gopher.somnolescent.net for people to come and peek at.
That gopher's offline and likely will be for a little while, and you can thank a Fusion Drive for taking it, along with my entire music library and all the project files and renders for my next album.
So how'd it happen?

A new look, an old CMS, some badgers, some slapcore—it's time for a recap.

Introducing the Somnolescent Blog
News
One long-winded night ago, I had the idea of adding a group blog to the site. Maintaining our subsites is fun, but not all of the Somnolians are at that level yet, or have the time to. Plus, it's a little tedious to do it by hand.
I wanted something any one of us can hop on and post about whatever we wanted--rants, rambles, projects, random thoughts, anything of the sort. dcb and I went looking for a PHP-based blogging solution with member functionality, and found it in Nucleus. I think it'll fit the bill quite nicely, and golly, does it look like 2007.
Work's to be done on the design, getting something a little bit more unique, but it's all up and running and functional. Making accounts for everyone now.
