In hindsight, a little painful to read just how naive and stupid I looked back then, but it was a nice blast from the past. (I had long-since forgotten about that blog, mainly because it was made off-site at a time when I was still exclusively on the battleon forums.) Running out of time to post this today, though, so this'll have to do for now--if you want more, just ask about it and I'll see what I can do.
