  • Gonna have to register

    Okay. After just getting slammed by a dozen blog spam comments on Cialis and online casinos, I turned on TypeKey authentication for this blog. To comment, you’ll need to create a typekey account. You’ll only have to do this once, and probably you won’t actually have to sign in that often. Warning: To those who…

  • Comment problems

    FYI, I updated this blog software to the most recent version of Movable Type, and the comment features aren’t working right. No matter what I set the preferences to, every comment submitted is help for approval — which I don’t really want. I’d prefer that the comments just went up and if there is something…

  • So, the colors here

    Chey looked at this site yesterday evening and said to me, “So, why don’t you ask me when you redesign this page? I don’t like these colors.” I found it sort of funny. I pictured myself sneaking upstairs at midnight, my wife sleeping soundly in bed. How peaceful. Then, I would put my hand gently…

It’s kinda cool as it gives a visual representation of what days have entries. On the other hand, the Recent Entries right below it seem more informative to me. My rule…

  • Ah hah! I’m now using MT!

    Started installing Moveable Type at 10:30 this evening. It is now just before midnight and I have installed and imported all the old Blogger posts as well. So far, Moveable Type rocks! And, it spits out XHTML! I’m very happy.

  • going to move this site soon

    I’m not a huge fan of blogger at this point. I’m going to transition this site over to a new url and a new blog tool. I’ll look for one that will produce valid xhtml and gives a few more options.

  • Redesigned

    So, with the ditching of the frames came a bit of a prettying up for this page. Note the background image in the lower-left. Those are actually some photoshopped leaves from our plant, George.

  • Ditched the frames.

    Yeah, I just couldn’t take the hypocrisy anymore. Frames are gone.
