Many other things are done, though, or at least well-begun. [Oh look… the upgrade mucked up the categories. Hm. Will fix that at some point, I suppose.] I thought you all might like…

So I spent the afternoon working on the website. Nothing should have changed from the outside, but the serverguts are all pretty and shiny and clean: updated, backed up, tweaked and twiddled. I don’t think I broke anything, but I trust you to let me know if I did. The…

It’s Elvis Presley’s birthday, and R.L. Stein’s. Stephen Hawking turns a rather remarkable 70. David Bowie turns 65.

(Wondermark, by the fabulous David Malki !) The projects are spawning this time of year. I at least need to get a handle on the overdue ones before I have much time for blogging. (I seem to be on Twitter a lot, if you want me.)
