Tidbits, moving along.

For all its beauty, Wordpress 2.7 is very, very, very slow, and I’m not sure the aesthetics are enough to make up for the 10 seconds (oh, horrors) I have to wait for any given admin page to load. On top of that, the scrolly things on the left don’t even work and I can’t [...]

Valamity: now sexier than pie.

I’m sorry; I know “new layout omg!!” posts are really obnoxious. But you have to start somewhere.
I am officially pissing off IE6 and 800×600-ers everywhere, but my fixed div fetish needed to be satisfied. So, alternate stylesheet due for IE6…sometime. To be honest, I was going to make one before I put this up — [...]

In transition.

Valamity is finally unbroken after Maintenance Mode killed it! She’s a phoenix in the ashes, and though her plumes might be ragged and covered in ash, rest assured that once all the embers are rinsed off, Valamity will be nifty again. Maybe we’ll even go back to the glory days of last October, when we [...]

It’s high time.

Make a post in ten minutes, ready-set-go!
When I came into the library at the beginning of the period, it was infested by a slew of nameless sophomores and/or juniors who, as far as I could tell, were marched here forcibly by their distraught English teacher (whom I had for tenth grade and did not like) [...]

Welcoming another egg to the carton.

A good egg, fortunately, and not one of those other eggs. You know the ones I mean.
Our fledgling blog has gotten so popular in the past…two and a half months, is it? I’m honestly terrible at telling time…that we’ve decided we can use our considerable pull in the ’sphere to give our good friend, er, [...]

Obligatory new layout post!

Okay, I’m super tired because I started this layout at ten in the morning and finished it at ten tonight, and although I obviously didn’t spend twelve hours straight working on it, anybody who’s done a major upgrade and revamping of their site will know the faaaaatiiiiigue I’m feeling right now.
So, if you’re reading this [...]

Comment followup!

Getting several long, in-depth, well-thought-out comments on the entry all about a lack of long, in-depth, well-thought-out comments in the blogosphere is the ultimate anti-irony! Gosh, you people are interesting. I love each and every one of you. For serious.
I was thinking about addressing everybody’s comments in a comment, or taking a cue from other [...]

One down…

Hi guys.
I just officially submitted my Early Action application to the University of Chicago, and I’m feeling pretty damn good about it, thank you very much. I’m feeling so good, in fact, that I’ve decided to go ahead and post something that…might end up losing us some readers. But that’s okay, because the purpose of [...]

We have survived!

Well, the downtime was slightly unnerving and both of us were getting pretty twitchy about it, but everything seems to be in fine fettle. The comments on Seth’s last entry were lost as well as my entire “Babyjuice” post (which, thanks to LJ crossposting, still exists after all), but nothing major was lost. I’d like [...]

We can has award!

(This post is written on behalf of both of us, because Seth just drove approximately 186 miles through rain and hail and I can’t help taking pity on the poor lad.)
Yo, check it - the lovely Rilla has got us all pimped out with this sucka:

Yay! In the spirit of self-deprecation, neither of us is [...]
