I’m going naked today.

It appears that the default Wordpress theme has a little bit of style information left. I’ll have to fix that some day.

Edit: fixed (and on the same day no less)

Go to my tag page and scroll down to where it says “meme”. See how freakin’ huge that thing is? I use a number of strong tags equal to the frequency that a particular tag is used. I then style it in CSS so that for each strong tag, it increases the size of the text by 20%.

Here’s the problem… here’s the breakdown of tag usage. (as of 9/15/05, pre this post)

• meme (21)
• baby (8)
• toby (7)
• pictures (7)
• quiz (5)
• wordpress (5)
• google (5)
• irony update livejournal comcast (4)

Look at that jump! I can explain this. I’ve been going back through some of my former posts, and have been tagging them at random. There was a time, back on livejournal, when I was a little lemming and would take every god-awful quiz that everyone else took. I lump those all together under the common tag of ‘meme’, and voilà! There this big ugly word staring me right in the face. I need to come up with some sort algorithm to minimize the size difference.

It has been almost 10 months since I switched to my new web hoster, and in all that time, I never took down the stupid “Under Construction” page that people get when they pull up http://www.kronkltd.net/ until today. I just never had anything good to put there. I still don’t, but it’s about time. (allthough it’s been replaced by a similar “excuse our dust” message.)

Recently, Microsoft announced that they will be releasing IE7 earlier than expected. It seems that the ever-increasing number of Firefox users has really started to make Bill sweat. I see this as a good thing. Now is the chance for Microsoft to reclaim some of it’s name. Originally, it was going to be Longhorn only, but they have decided to open it up to users of XP-SP2. It does nothing for the many people not using XP, but it’s a start.
