This book is getting all kinds of attention. I’ve just started it – I think I’m on about the second chapter. So far it reads like an agreeable, drily humorous novel by Jonathan Swift or Lawrence Sterne (it’s a lot like Tristram Shandy in tone and era, except with wizards). Nobody corresponding to “My Uncle Toby” yet, though.

House G.O.P. Voids Rule It Adopted Shielding Leader Now that the elections are safely over it’s okay to repudiate that ethically shaky rule, which was the Congressional equivalent of dust bunnies under the bed. This post is to test the NYT Link Generator, as I’ve been avoiding linking to the NYT owing to their Subscription-required access Fee-based archives Crappy angle brackets used as separators So if this works well, I’ll be very happy to link to NYT articles, rather than just reading them.

MTHacks’ MT Smileys This might be the next thing to tackle. Unlike other smileys packages I’ve looked at, it accomplishes things with includes and macros. Clickable, too. Hmm. However, I was hoping to use some square smileys that come in a range of colors that I ran across somewhere, so more thinking is needed.

Previously: Well, there are no previouslys, except in the sense that the entire episode is nothing but a string of previouslys, so it’s not clear that anything can be considered to be the previouslys to what happened previously. Look at me, bending time and space. You can thank me later when the pizza that you order on Thursday arrives on Wednesday afternoon. Miss Alli attempts to deal with the time paradox posed by a TAR clip show depicting events that happened months ago, but they’re new to us so we’re all exercised and outaged over assy-brat behavior now. So where’s…

Announcing Innocents: A Blog, a webblog for Holy Innocents Episcopal Church. If you take a look at it, you’ll see that there are static content pages off of the “breadcrumbs” menu, corresponding to pages on the “main” church website. In the next few days, I will gradually be shifting all of the content over from there into Moveable Type (MT). And not using Front Page (MS). Ever again. And yes, I’ve been a-hankering to do this for a while. I’ve decided that the blog part of the site will be integral; categories will be used for blog-like entries for things…

Welcome, Isaac Newton Westminster Abbey Tomb Hunters of 2005! The picture and description you are looking for is here. Yes, I’m procrastinating on the damn travel journal for a bit longer. At least now I can deal with the images a little better than when I started.

Another year, another milestone, another period of hapless casting about for something interesting to blog about. When faced with this problem, many of us turn to our stats pages for a little navel-gazing. And what better time than on New Year's Day? Just who are the robots, spiders, and visitors who drop by? Naturally, any good stats page includes information about connections from other sites. This is usually where the spam hits the fan – a lot of the links turn out to be for C-list sleb porn and for hosting services and info-harvesters. Now and then, though, there's an…
