Meathook Reality

Not that anyone is likely to notice, but I’ve just spent part of my afternoon re-working the guts of the site. Now, we use Smarty as a templating engine. Templates have never really been my thing: I tend to strew my code and implementation all through my markup, pretty willy-nilly. We’ll see how this works out. Also, there is the fun of watching as templating engines get smarter and smarter, until they allow developers to encode more and more of their implementation straight into the page. This causes another developer to come along and implement a templating abstraction in the original language.
