prone to enthusiasms….
Notes about this website. Some are purely notices; others discuss the site’s history and the technical issues I’ve encountered over the years.
Agnostic or no, I’ve been watching the continuing debate about syndication. And when Tim Bray and Jon Udell both show up in my aggregator expressing concerns about the shortcomings of the entire breed, I can’t help but notice. The essays are on different topics, actually, and address different issues. Both are well worth reading.

Spent more of the day than I’d intended reworking the site’s index pages; first I had to figure out how to code the changes, then there was a lot of manual labor involved in implementing those changes. Most of the time was spent moving files.

The object is to write, and to publish. The tools are tools. So are the design details.

CSS is a mystery. It’s like the bad old days, when each browser–and each version of Netscape–had quirks you needed to accommodate so folks could actually read your website. I’m trying to find a way to build this site so it looks passable in at least the most common browsers. At least for me, that means doing things by trial and error, then testing in two versions of Opera, two versions of Netscape, two versions of IE, two versions of Firebird. Such fun. I thought we were past this.

This certainly wasn’t how I intended to spend the weekend. Stuff happened.
