Plus, they steal your Visa(tm)

Had to post this little mpg that got sent to me…

You can never trust a penguin.

Elementary my dear Watson!

Apparently the change to inline-comment counts has spurred an upsurge in commenting - in the past days, I’ve almost approached double digit comments :P I guess it’s true what they say - if you increase usability by 10% you’ll double your potential market…

I bet nobody noticed the fact that I put user selectable styles onto this page… See if you can find out where (I guess for those of you using Mozilla it won’t be that tough) Currently there are 2 (yes thats right, 2) different styles that you can choose from. Of course one of them is the one you’re seeing right now, the other is the halloween one. I’ll come up with a couple of other ones, then move the link to change styles to somewhere more accessible. Not right now though, cause I don’t feel like it.

Future plans for that are to have the colours selectable separately from the fonts, so I can claim that there are thousands of different possibilities or something like that (ok, maybe not thousands - dozens anyways)

I got my Christmas shopping done last night. Erin and I went to Market Mall, which was a good decision, cause the crowds were not there (big surprise there) Nothing much has changed in that mall since I last worked there like 3 years ago. HMV has closed up shop, a lewiscraft moved in, the Company’s Coming changed to some kind of “Healthy Food For You” place, and the only people in the mall are senior citizens. We had pretty decent luck at finding stuff at any rate. After shopping, I took Erin home, then headed out to Mom & Dad’s for a bit. Didn’t do much over there, but I did pick up my “Gauntlet Dark Legacy” I’ll have to give it a bit of play time at some point this weekend - maybe when Erin’s out shopping with her Mom.

How many of you noticed that I trashed the forums links from the side? Show of hands? That’s what I thought… Didn’t seem to be worth the trouble, especially since the comments system seems to do everything that’s needed. I think the forums are still available if you can figure out how to get to them, but they’ll be gone in a couple of weeks, cause f2s.com is closing it’s free PHP hosting service at that point.

I don’t know if there’s much more in the way of features that I want to add to this site (other than the “daily link” thing where comments will appear below the article, but that’s kind of out of my hands at this point.)
