Indeed, sufficiently small animals cannot be hurt in a fall from any height: A monkey is too big, a squirrel is on the edge, but a mouse is completely safe.

I’m done. I will not mess with it any more.

It took me ages to clean the comment spam off of this thing, and I probably missed a few. Most of the spam was what you’d expect, but my very favorite spam comment was from someone named pharmacy: “I do like this blog a lot. thanks for keeping all the spammers off it.”

In the process of redesigning this blog, I’ve had to seriously reexamine my allegiance to CSS. Standards-compatibility and external layout styling are all very fine, but it seems that to implement this layout in CSS, I’m going to have to use at least three hacks just to make everything expand properly. Suddenly the lame spacer gifs that I used to stretch out my tables no longer seem so inelegant.

I intend to resuscitate this! Soon! Meanwhile, don’t look at it.
