It's the New Style

Well, I'm back. It's good to take time off from blogging every now and then. After I go at it for a while it starts to become part of how I see the world. Everything I see, everything I read, and every little idea gets vetted to see if I should fit it in the blog. It all gets a bit tiresome sometimes. It's nice to put it out of my mind.

But at the same time I realized blogging is a useful way for me to release some creative energy that doesn't otherwise have an outlet. Most of the time I'm talking only to my little balls and chains and they don't really appreciate my wit and wisdom. Maybe no one else does either, but at least on the internet I can pretend.

I spiffed up the template for the blog over the past two days. I was really, really getting sick of the old look. The new style is a little simpler and a little classier, in my opinion. I've tested it on Netscape and IE at both 800X600 and 1024X768 and it seems to work fine. If you have any problems please let me know. The logo was done using a progam called The Gimp, which is a very powerful (and free!) graphics editor. I found it on the wonderful Pricelessware site. I'm just starting to figure out how to use it and will probably replace the logo with something cooler in a month or so.

Okay. Now I guess I should go write something...
