Site Maintenance o' Doom [Updated]

Just some fair warning — I’m upgrading this beast from Drupal 5.5 to Drupal 5.7, which involves the usual clusterfuck process of backing up the database and current source tree, deactivating all the external modules, moving the old stuff out of the way, moving the new 5.7 tree into place, copying the configuration file over, running the Drupal database upgrade script, unpacking the latest versions of every extra module, reactivating them one-by-one and running their upgrade scripts. Sigh.

So you may see errors or a “site not available” notice for a brief period as I get all this crap set up. All should be well again by this evening, though.

Update: All done. Drupal 5.7 happiness abounds.
Update 2: Changed the site’s color scheme to a disturbingly green motif. It’s friggin’ springtime; enough with the depressing dark blue!
