I am the ghost of groovymother.com. Woooooo!

This is an old page from Rod Begbie's blog.

It only exists in an attempt to prevent linkrot. No new content will be added to this site, and links and images are liable to be broken. Check out begbie.com to find where I'm posting stuff these days.

RightFields

MovableType plugin to reconfigure the “fields” for your blog entries. Might install this, just so that I can stop storing the “via” links for Groovy Links in the “Excerpt” field.
