It’s hard to believe that it’s been two years since I launched this little hobby of mine but here we are in 2007. It’s way better to be a Democrat these days but we can’t let ourselves become complacent in relative success. So, in that spirit (although on a much less significant plane) we continue to push forward in this space as well.
Over the coming weeks I’ll be rolling out several new features and tools on this site in order to make it more user friendly and ensure its future vitality. This new theme will serve as the canvas for the changes to come. The theme has a few kinks to iron out and a couple of necessary features left to implement but it’s late, I’m tired, and I think this will work for now. We’re not changing for no reason, however, and if you poke around I’m sure you’ll see why I’ve decided to latch onto this particular theme. Among the niftier items:
- Live-search: try typing in the search bar… wait… and… magic!
- Live-archives: see that “<<Older” link right below the logo? Click it and see what happens.
- Extended-archives: click the “archives” tab at top and cruise through our old stuff at top speed
- And a sure to be user favorite, style-switching: click the image in the top-right of the sidebar and, viola, no more white text on a black background! (some of you more vocal complainers should finally be appeased!)
So, look around and look forward to the coming weeks, they should be interesting.
I am in blasted IE — but just FYI, the sidebars don’t appear correctly in IE.

Well poo… Like I said, I was tired and I just went to bed. Should have checked IE first…
Okay, I see the problem. I don’t have time to fix that this morning but if anyone else is seeing this problem, just let it be known that it will be fixed shortly. Interestingly enough, if you update to IE7 everything works right again. It just seems to be IE6 that messes it up but a lot of people are still running 6 so I will make sure to fix it.
In the mean time, download a real browser.
I use FireFox at home, but for all of my workday slacking I only have IE.

Yeah, I can empathize. Just go to your IT guy and tell him that he has two choices: install Firefox or have one of his computers chucked out a window. He’ll probably think you’re joking but when the computer’s smashed in pieces in the middle of the road he’ll know you mean business.
