Launched new design. Coming soon: Portfolio, Resume, Projects. Ok, not news, but it makes the Most Visited block look better. ;)

This is getting way too many reads, so I'll add some potentially useful information for you here:

Agaskar.com is running Drupal 6 on a 64M VPS via lighttpd. Backend DB is MySQL, although I'm considering attemping an SQLite port; MySQL is quite hungry, as you might imagine; it fits in memory only if you turn off the ability to use InnoDB tables (not a big deal, because my server would probably fall over before my tables got big enough to use InnoDB).

The template used is a very simple one knocked out using Blueprint CSS. For blogs, I like a very minimal design; the text should be what draws the eye, and the main goal should be to make it highly readable. With that in mind, I'm still trying to decide if I've made the main content too narrow.

The right sidebar is populated with content from the Drupal aggregate module; right now it is designed to nicely process my Google Reader shared page, which is my only source feed at the moment. This could be much more elegant -- and possibly a useful Drupal module -- with a little bit of work, but at the moment this simple 20-minute hack fulfills my needs.
