Yes, it is. I seriously screwed it up...again. Linux is great if you have an internet connection and patience fit for Übermenschen, but otherwise...it stinks investing time and effort trying to unscrew things up. Oh, and another annoying thing about Linux is the bloody fonts. I can't stand it whenever I upgrade the system and suddenly the fonts change. It's incredibly irritating whenever this happens, especially since the change is more often than not...ugly. I miss my old fonts.

In other news, no, I don't have any news. Life goes on, and I'm still too damn busy to do anything about the horrid design of this website. You're going to have to live with it...if you aren't dead yet. Life's a bitch, ain't it?

I have recently updated the site to make some minor interface changes and fix a lot of bugs. 95% of all the changes made (most of which you shouldn't notice) are bugfixes. This includes the feature showing which posts are new and which aren't. (Yes, it was broken for more than half a year.)

The next phase in the site upgrade will be a new interface. This is also an opportunity for me to plug Opera and Mozilla Firefox to those of you reading the site who use Internet Explorer. You guys have no idea how annoying it is designing the site. I need to prepare two versions - one for IE, and one for everyone else. The one for everyone else is the site design that you're supposed to see. The one for Internet Explorer is an ugly hack that really, really sucks. I hate coding for IE. It makes my life very difficult. Anyway, thanks guys! :D
