I have a number of big projects in the works, several of which will require a website with some pretty sophisticated web applications so it is the right time. I figured the best way to learn it is to just dive in and immerse myself so the first thing I am doing is converting my personal website over. I will be doing all sorts of experimenting and customizing here so expect changes and occasional periods of brokenness. The migration also meant that several personal sites were down for a few days until I got around to configuring apache to do url rewrites for those sites so they got served out of the apache document root instead of being proxied to zope.
Last week I had a catastrophic LVM failure on the server which hosts my websites and email, so it was down for a while then too. I am working on getting more redundant systems up to make everything more reliable although that is more for company stuff and not the personal site.
