+	<p>well, i pretty quickly hit a roadblock with refactoring<br>
+	so, the thing is that my current setup is terrible for refactoring<br>
+	basically theres no way for the neocities page to track when i<br>
+	delete stuff on the github, so id have to manually delete a ton<br>
+	off the neocities and let it regenerate each time...<br>
+	there is an alternative of using force: true, which<br>
+	deletes every file that isnt on the repo, but then<br>
+	all my old comics would be nuked since jan-aug isnt<br>
+	on the repository BUT i need to get the old page names<br>
+	and the only place i put them before august was on the<br>
+	USENET forum but i cant find a good archive of the ng<br>
+	besides google groups which stops at febuary bc thats<br>
+	when google killed the integration for it, so basically<br>
+	i need to find a good rec.arts.comics.creative archive<br>
+	to actually refactor stuff and id need to actually port<br>
+	everything over too so itll take quite a while<br>
