Just a short note to let any potential commenters know that this blog is being rocked by spammers right now. None of it is getting through, thanks to my moderation settings and a few anti-spam plugins; but it’s possible your comments might be getting lost.
I value all (actual made-by-humans-who-are-reading-the-articles) comments to this blog, positive or negative, so deepest apologies if yours gets lost. Just make sure you post something meaningful and easily recognizable as not spam. Thanks!
I’ve been putting a bit more work into my music pages on this website, notably my Lykwyd Chykyn site; in addition to a revamped Random song player (now using HTML5 “audio” tags),
I’ve got a link to a page with all my songs, using a “Pay what you want” system so that you can have all the Lykwyd Chykyn/Alan D Moore music you can stand for a gift of 5, 10, 20, or 0 (if you wanna be like that) dollars.
Yeah, I know, maybe not what the world has been waiting for, but considering what people are happy to shell out to iTunes for DRM-locked tracks from the west coast music machine, I’m hoping they’ll see the sense in dropping a few
bucks in the hat for some liberally licensed (CC-BY-SA-NC) tracks made with love and care. Time will tell.

Apparently due to my failure to read directions, comments have been broken on this site for a looooooooooooooooong time. So now they are fixed, I expect everyone to bless me with their profound wisdom.
Well, as long as I’m doing stuff to the site, that main page needed an
overhaul BAD!!!!
So I rearranged the menu, created a new stylesheet, and removed all the
fanboyish anti-IE nonsense. The site looks pretty consistent in IE9,
and if you’re using older versions of IE you’re probably going to have
to get used to things looking like junk.
Because frankly, if a browser doesn’t support border-radius, box-shadow, or text-shadow, I can’t be bothered to go make jpegs or do some javascript nonsense just to make things pretty for old-and-busted browser. Sorry.
After years of not blogging much to my geekblog, I’ve decided it’s time to join the herd and get a real blog engine behind my writing. True, I may still not find much time to blog, but at least I can get some experience playing with WordPress — a worthwhile bit of knowledge for a web developer / Linux admin / advisor-on-all-things-computer-for-my-family-and-friends.
So here I am tinkering away on this WordPress thing. Maybe I’ll write more. Maybe I can link this in with social networks and such, or feel more like writing about things other than just computers and tech. Who knows. Maybe it’ll end up with three way-out-of-date entries like every other WordPress blog out there.
Time will tell…
