While I’m in the process of turning Zero into a full-fledged Linux From Scratch rig, I’ve disabled any features here that rely on that machine. The random-email and current-music widgets both lived there, and will return just as soon as Zero is back to a fully operational state.

Taglines, get your big steaming bowl of taglines!
Because the world really, really needs another geek with a gigantic taglines collection… I present unto you my complete taglines file. Be careful, it’s 164 kilobytes in size. It’s been sorted and lightly duplicate-checked, and contains lots of geeky stuff as well as the occasional tagline you don’t want to show your parents. Or your children, depending.
The majority of these came to me from the proprietress of Cosmic Central, so you should probably peek in at her site. She’s good people.

Quackback Enabled Site
The march of progress is unstoppable. This morning I had decided to try to work YACCS into this site, only to discover that YACCS isn’t taking any more new users. In the short search for alternatives I discovered dotcomments, and after a brief look at the docs and code I thought that perhaps I could easily graft it onto Monaural Jerk.
It was even easier than that. The hardest part was figuring out the PHP syntax in the main include file for MJ. Oh yeah, baby. You can now leave snarky comments on any and every journal entry here.
Power to the people, baby. Quackback all you wanna.

Just one more thing that needs doing
I’ve resisted the urge up until now. It’s what everyone else is doing. It’s even a really nice thing to do.
I’m going to add a short list of links to other blogs/journals I read on a semi-regular basis. Yeah, that’s right. I’m joining the crowd. Who knew?
My starting list will probably look a lot like the following line-up:

Screenshots. Because I can.
Just because I’m a geek from hell, I also now have screenshots from my desktops available. At the moment there is only one, but there are plans for Ryoko and possibly other machines as well.
That’s right. I skimp on the real graphics so I can waste your bandwidth and mine by loading up this page with really goofy nonsense like this. It’s amazing how much I care, truly care, about my visitors.

Dropcaps Begone
Okay, so I’ve stopped using the dropcaps. I realized (belatedly) that they’re going to wreak havoc with the redesign that’s coming just as soon as I get some free time to monkey with the code. It’s going to be fun, it’s going to look great, but it’s not going to like having big ugly dropcaps all over the place. Ah well. It sure makes starting one of these entries a helluva lot easier not to have to type “span class = dropcap” and so on.
