Simple, short statements of thought — previously “quickies”

Comments fixed

Oh, hey. Nothing like putting out a request for comments and then learning that my comments are broken, and have been since I upgraded to WordPress from SVN.

Next serial enthusiasm?

Update: Yeah - I sent out a request for comments after breaking my comments. Ugh. Thanks if you tried commenting, and I hope you might try again. If not, thanks for stopping by anyway! So, I’ve been basically hacking on nothing after work for quite some time now. I’ve had a few [...]
