Website trouble

So, I've switched www.moug-portfolio.info to point to the new server (with the new website), and for some reason, it broke MySQL.

EDIT: Should be OK now, please let me know if you encounter any issue.

Website change coming soon

I've been in the process of making some changes to my website, mainly switching to a WordPress powered site and changing the skin as well. I'll publish this change by the end of the week.
