in which I write about stuff
the fridge & dishwasher arrived today while I was at work…and the old ones magically disappeared. by magically, of course, I mean that C. was good enough to pry the old dishwasher out of the cupboards, disconnect it, and drag it out into the front room for the gents from Lowe’s to take away, along [...]
# fix search form I’d like it if the results page showed the search term(s). # fix syndication page just had to update my .htaccess (something to add to the upgrade guide?) (perhaps these 2 need to be better integrated into the WP install? that turned out to be dead easy. unfortunately, there’s something wonky [...]
a few nice touches in the 1.2 beta of wordpress, mostly in the administrative features. the moderation in particular is improved, or at least I’m assuming it is.

I could feel it coming on last night while we were gaming; C had a cold a good part of the weekend. this morning, I woke up with my alarm, mostly because I was already awake from not being able to breathe properly. I thought about going to work for a bit (“I don’t feel [...]
1. How did you get into web design and web development? Was it by accident or design? Entirely by accident, if by accident you mean random curiosity.
