So finally the timestamps are in Eastern Time, as they should be. Also, I have just answered for myself another question that I’ve often wondered about — how does one cut a baby’s fingernails?

I wonder whether this sort of serial microblogging behavior differs significantly from Twittering? Surely I have a degree of greater freedom, I think. And I think it might even be significantly more fun. Okay, time to be productive.

So… maybe I could’ve been doing something better with my time today, but here’s our new, bright, whimsical look! I also cleaned up my code a great deal, though, after having not seen it for over a year, I’d forgotten what I’d named all of the variables. Oops. There are probably bugs lurking around in here somewhere, which I will fix when I find them. (..or when you find them and tell me about them!)

…and her new layout!

Here it is!

I’ve been feeling a little nostalgia for my old graphics intensive layouts myself — hopefully I’ll have time to create one soon. I realized that I’d practically forgotten what all of those layouts looked like, so I went and dug up my backup CD from that ancient PC that runs Win98, on which I used to write websites and such. Scary stuff.

It turned out, in fact, that the CD-RW wasn’t readable on my laptop without a piece of software that was only available for computers runnings Win98 and WinNT. Luckily, there was a near-petrified NT computer lying around at home, which had a CD-RW drive, which let me copy all of the stuff on that CD onto one flash drive. Hehe.

So here’s a nostalgia-inducing thumbnail that I rescued from my backup CD. This was version 6 — from before I moved to snowcovered-dreams.net! (Back then, I was at Twilight-Reverie.net.) Anyway, I’m thinking of something graphics heavy, with bold, unique colors and shapes, yet still somehow minimalist and elegant. Probably a white background, so that I can use all those super cute animated smilies I made way back when. Possibly something orange (!)

Also, you may have noticed the new category app I installed, after being inspired by the same on Aditya’s blog. I guess I got lazy and just didn’t categorize most of my posts properly, so they’re all falling under “general.” Oh boo hoo.

There are definitely updates to be made on this blog — essentials, really, that I’m sorry you (and I) had to go without.

#1: The “Home” page link. It’s on the left-hand menu now — how else were you going to navigate back to the index page without manually changing the URL in your address bar? Goodness!

#2: RSS feed link: I’ve had an RSS feed all along, I just never linked it for whatever reason. Well, now there’s a link. I have an Atom feed, too, but first I need to figure out where it is.

#3: The blogroll — come on, I read more than that. Eventually I will have more links up.
