* You Can Thank Insomnia *
comments

Well it has finally happened. No, no...I haven't lost my mind (not yet at least). I've finally begun on the "Great Dodoskdo Cleanup of 2008". The side bar has been greatly trimmed and will be slowly replaced with more useful links rather than the absolute mishmash of yesteryear. The biggest change is the introduction of Haloscan into my life. Comment spam bots ("bots don't kill websites, spammers kill websites") were bringing my beefy virtual hosting machine to an absolute crawl and would periodically crash it. Thus, I've offloaded the problem to Haloscan. I'll be donating for a premium sub if it's up to snuff.

You'll also notice a culling of ads. I get annoyed by ads on other sites especially helpful but sleazy sites that breakup posts to pop in a giant google ad block. While the google income does help a bit, it doesn't net me enough to care if I loose a few bucks here and there as long as I bring up the performance of my pages and make it more legible.

Which brings me to colors. Yes, it's a little muddy, but I liked the Blade Runner cache it holds. Nevertheless, the colors and entire template will be hucked soon enough in favor of a more simple color scheme.

So what prompted the abrupt spurt of activity? Well, for one, Hongyun had her solo art exhibit opening this past evening (photos). The event went very well, but we were dead tired afterwards. Anyway, it was a huge load off our backs. Couple that with some insomnia and you'll see why I suddenly got the urge to move on cleaning up.

Anyway, good luck and good night.
