I started a web page that I called the Honyaku Home Page back in 1995 (for whatever reason, the wayback machine<\/a> only shows iterations going back to 1997\u00e2\u20ac\u201dstill pretty old for a web page). Over the years it grew and transmogrified. For a while, I ran it using a crude homebrewed CMS written in Hypercard.<\/p>\n

When I upgraded my Mac to OS X, Hypercard became a non-option; my hacked-up CMS had been very awkward to use for a long time anyhow. Eventually I transferred most of the site’s functions to Movable Type<\/a>, using some jury-rigged templates. That too became unsatisfactory, and for a very long time, I looked around for other options.<\/p>\n

I found one in Drupal<\/a>, though when I first encountered it, it was somewhat primitive. Over time, Drupal has developed, and I committed to using it. After a false-start, I hired a developer to customize a module for me, bought a domain name (which I should have done a long time ago anyhow), and soft-launched the new site.<\/p>\n

Even though most of the ducks have been in a row for some time, I’ve been reluctant to have a public launch. Drupal has numerous add-on modules these days, many of which would no doubt make the new site more useful, but the double-edged sword is that every new module creates new administrative tasks, and some of the spiffier features would require even more futzing around. I was stuck in option paralysis. The best is the enemy of good enough.<\/p>\n

Today, I finally said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153fuck it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d decided to launch with a plainer site, and announce it. Check it out. honyakuhome.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
