Sorry to the one or two people who actually visit my site about the (seemingly) lack of progress here lately. I actually have been working on the site. (No - really! I have!) I've just been trying to get things to a point that I might even leave alone for a few years aside from upgrades required due to Habari changes.
My lifestream is now up and semi-operational. (There's still a few tweaks to the theme that I need to finish up.) I went back and forth on this one a few times about writing my own plugin, or fixing the existing lifestream plugin. Needless to say, I couldn't come up with a really functional way of doing it that just seemed to flow. So, I went ahead and installed SweetCron to manage it.
I've also been writing up a few plugins for use here. Once I get them done, I'll put them up to the projects page. The now playing plugin to your right in the sidebar is one of them.

As is normal for me, instead of just cleaning up my theme, I've gone ahead and started on changing everything instead. (The site's needed a face lift for quite some time.) If you're stopping by and catch a strange filler post, or something looking completely crazy, don't worry about it. It's just me working on the site layout.
I've got it to a point that I'm just going to leave up the new layout now. All that's left at this point are a few tweaks here and there. RIP to the old theme. :( <sniff>I'll miss you...</sniff>
And as I *just* found out. Things might look just a little bit off for a bit. I'm disabling Habari's autop function for the time being until I can find out what all it will actually break for validation.
Update: I've gone ahead and changed the DOCTYPE here to be HTML 5 for the mean time and turned back on autop. I'll have to dig into this one a bit later. If you check the validation it seems to have no issue with the self closing tags that XHTML uses.
