A Year Under the Bulb: Our Upgrade Plans
News
The first official year of Somnolescent has had me figuring out little webmaster things I'd previously had no experience with. So far, it's been really good, no doubt helped by our excellent hosting and a little bit of common sense on the part of all the Somnolians.
Nevertheless, we're really only just getting started here. As the world continues to churn around our collective, I've a few major upgrades I'd like to perform on our internal and external server infrastructure going forward. I'll explain more under the cut.

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.
