Quickie.
Category: Linkage

For some reason I'm really exhausted, so I'm going to turn in early tonight (yes, 12:30 AM is early for me), but I didn't want to leave y'all with nothing. So here are a few odd links I've been saving:

Reprinted in the Mutant Frog Travelogue: Princeton U. bans harassment suspect.

Linked in the Freak Girl's Pew: Mmm... butterfinger.

Oh, and I've added a category listing for such linkage in the future, but no, I'm not going back and marking all of the old posts as such. I know, I know. You'll deal.

Anyway, should have another SC update for you soon enough -- possibly a new food piece, and there are some wild game reviews on the horizon as well. For those of you who are fans of the bookstore Hot Flashes, don't worry -- even though next Friday will be my last day at the bookstore, I've still got enough material to keep them going for at least another few weeks. And then they will be no more! But new entertainments will appear in their stead. Ja.

Scary-Crayon updated!

It's been a few months, but we've finally got a new piece in the Spectare section -- a standard review of Stephen King's Sleepwalkers. It's fucking awful.

Also, I received reports that the link to the Miscellaneous section on the main and content pages (and now at the bottom of articles) wasn't working properly for users of IE 6, so I've attempted to fix that (apparently the problem stems from the fact that IE can't count, though oddly enough the display was fine on my IE 5.5). It should be deactivated on the Misc. page, but everywhere else it should behave like the others. Anyway, I think I've resolved that issue, but let me know if you encounter any problems with that (or anything else), mmkay?

And that's all for now. Ja!

Scary-Crayon updated!
Category: SC Updates … Technical Stuff

In addition to A Crayon Haiku #28 -- which really must be seen to be believed -- the main and content pages are now active in their table-free CSS and PHP form, and the same goes for all articles starting now. It's kinda sad to see the tables go -- I've had a ten year love affair with those special little tags -- but ah well, times change. Besides, it's not like anyone'll be able to tell the difference! I've also set up a little redirect thing, so visitors to the old blog should automatically end up here now. (If that's you, welcome!) And that's about all I've got for now. Ja!

What's up, doc?
Category: Miscellany

Quick post before I run off to the bookstore (man, these next two weeks are going to go by soooo slowly). Just wanted to apologize to everyone for having been so bad with e-mails and contacts and whatnot lately! So here's the deal. Since I started the new blog, I'm not really sure who's with me here. (The old Blog of Wes is still getting new comments and referrals, but not so much over here -- probably because other folks' links haven't been updated yet. Speaking of links, don't worry if yours was on the old blogroll but hasn't made it over here yet -- I'm doing it as a gradual thing to make sure I keep up with the "maintenance" around here. Though I should mention that not all of the old links will be coming over -- namely because I want to maintain a lighter tone over here than I did when I first started the old blog, even though I'll continue to write serious entries from time to time.) There are folks who used to comment on the old blog who don't say too much these days (who haven't said much in a while, actually), and there are some newer folks (welcome!) who I'm not quite familiar with and would be interested in knowing a little more about.
