Mephisto upgrade started

I've upgraded the blog to Mephisto 0.8.1 Drax. I would have been in serious trouble, had it not been for Rob Seaman's blog. Waves! Hi, Rob. Thanks.It wasn't just a simple upgrade, in fact, it was pretty freaking complicated. But, since I worked so hard, it should be smooth sailing for the future.
- Upgrade to new Mephisto, and learn more about Git at the same time (Rob's blog was really useful for that part)
- Moved from Nginx/Mongrel setup on a Nitix box, to Apache/Passenger on Solaris 10 (SunFire V100). (More on that later)
- Capified the blog, for better/faster customizations and updates. (Yeeee!!!!!)
Seems like a lot, doesn't it? I thought so too. There was even a couple of days of yak-shaving involved, as I attempted to force certain plugins to work, which were not compatible with 0.8.1. Never mind. The blog is up and running, and it will survive for a day or two without a tag cloud, or pagination. I'll get to it. Promise.
