Housekeeping

I’ve made some minor updates to this site you might be interested in knowing about.

1. Gravatars

   Gravatars appear to be back up again and coping, so I’ve switched over to using them instead of the kludgy manual solution I developed a few months back. Given the service’s track record I haven’t exactly raced to scrap the previous method just yet, but we’ll see how this holds up over the next little while.

2. Logo Reworking

   Since my redesign last year I’ve felt like the logo was missing something, an extra touch that would throw it over the top. I could never put my finger on it, until I came up with the little beauty you see now gracing the header. I know it was Picasso who said great artists steal, but I can’t help but think this is a wholly unique idea.

3. The Dailies

   Long time readers will remember a few years back I ran a links sidebar I called The Dailies. Due to the manual nature of updating it at the time, and the increasingly inaccurate name as my publishing schedule dwindled, I eventually killed it.

   Now thanks to the power of del.icio.us I’m giving it another shot. Think of the legacy name as being a stab at continuity rather than accuracy, and we’ll be just fine.

Two of these things are true. One is not. I’m sure you’ll figure out which is which. (Update: if you said #2, give yourself a hand. See this Flickr group for context.)
