April 30^th 2025: Themes are driving me nuts. I have switched to Blogarise, with a lot of Custom-CSS to change some of the questionable colour and title options. Hopefully that will be fine for now.

April 7^th 2025: The WordPress theme from 2010 that I insist on using is apparently riddled with performance issues and incompatible with everything. I have switched to a theme from 2012 that seems more stable and doesn't set off all the alert panels. It also works on mobile browsers though I had to add an "about" page.

April 3^rd 2025: I tried to write one post per decade, but failed. One every 12 years seems okay, and it's a follow-on post to the last one. Also the site isn't mobile friendly yet. Since I am not mobile friendly, this is never going to be a priority.

October 2024: My old Wordpress MU finally broke too much to maintain it. I moved my sites off onto individual instances so now this thing stands alone, and I have broken all the very legacy pretty themes and fonts.

April 2010: I have moved this from its old home so we'll see what happens now.

October 2009: I am trying to be a little more regular with posting. Wish me luck!

April 2008: I have been a little bitter and cynical the last couple of months. If you want lighter more amusing stuff then maybe you should skip the top few postings.
