Today is the sort of gorgeous day that only comes after a heavy rain.

On the tail of a sea-green Plymouth Voyager:

I wonder whether anyone has published a book with a title like 1337 Programming Tips.

Coming to you almost live on WordPress, because one host ought to be enough for anyone. Even cooler, it’s all written in PHP; no Javascript needed.

Conversion from Blogger was surprisingly easy. Now to customize it — because I really dislike the present look [i.e. the default template of the then current version]. How do I undo whatever makes class storycontent look compressed, when I can’t find storycontent in the CSS file?

I also wonder if I can turn off “smart” punctuation, which, in my default font, messes up the line spacing.

I’ll also have to go through the archives and remove all the line breaks that I put in to make the source more legible. sigh
