Twittering random research ideas, website overhaul

Two years after signing up and then losing interest after a day or so, I finally found a use for Twitter -recording all the small, maybe-insignificant, not-thought-through-in-the-slightest research ideas that come dropping out of the sky every day but are way to insignificant to blog about. I can never seem to blog about anything unless I have a lot of free time and manage to convince myself that I can say something intelligent and relevant about the topic at hand, circumstances that seem to coincide relatively rarely. Anyone interested in hearing five to ten random thoughts of dubious relevancy about Harry Potter dojinshi per day is very welcome to follow me here.
I also did a partial overhaul of the main website. It's still far slower than I'd like, but slightly shinier and easier to navigate. Using Prezi as a sitemap/visual representation of my research gets more fun every day -try it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed. Tinkering with Drupal is getting easier and easier too. It still takes me hours to figure out how to implement new features and I somehow managed to kill my search function while puttering around with the installation this weekend (fixing it as soon as humanly possible), but I'm learning to Tweak Open Source Software All By Myself To Track And Preserve Everything I Do Online, a goal worth some time and aggravation, I suppose.
