If you have popped by here earlier today, you may have found one of two things:
1. The site was inaccessible, offering only the ubiquitous 404 or 500 error pages.
2. A number of different index pages with very little on them.
The reason for this is that I am considering moving the management of my blog back to Blogger. The recent furore over the licensing of the new version of MT doesn't really have any bearing as I have no real need to upgrade my version to blog the way I do at present. Whilst my good friends Roger and Jason has jumped to WordPress, my other friend and host Chuck has gone back to the new and improved Blogger. Despite running several webhosting ventures and having a serious amount of hardware and knowledge at his disposal, Chuck has moved back because, as he puts it "I went the blogger route [because there is] less server stuff to worry about... and easy access from anywhere". Another plus is that whenit goes wrong the nice folks at Google/Blogger get to fix it, rather than Chuck or me.
So, I'll be messing around with a setup somewhere on blogspot.com and hopefully work out a way to import the MT content back into Blogger (judging by the forums out there, more and more folks are looking to do this). If I can get a setup I am happy with, there's a good chance that bignoseduglyguy.com will get an overhaul before long.

Though, I'll say Blogger is a lot easier to design in that MT or even WP.
