  Somewhat updated style July 27 2011  9:35 AM EST

It's been a while, but I'm back and have made a few tweaks to the style. The most obvious thing is the fact that only the most recent updates are on the home page, with a link to a page which lists just the title and post date for all posts. The home page was getting a bit long, so I hope this alleviates that.

The next thing you might notice is the favicon. It kept being requested, and before dsrv simply served up a ridiculous html page instead of an image. I don't know what this did to most browsers, but chromium safely ignored it. Now, it serves a png which is of the capital letter gamma. Why gamma? Well, I was thinking tilde, but then I thought, "The gamma function is cool. I'm cool. I'll use gamma!" (conceit added ;)) Anyway, I'm still thinking about incorporating tilde somewhere. My name has two 'f's, so maybe I'll combine gamma and a tilde to make a hooked, semi-squiggly capital letter 'F'. Maybe not.

The last change is that the links to validate the HTML/CSS of any particular page have been turned into simple comments, thus not not taking up space in the header. I did this because I should be checking it still, But I don't do it very often. Also, I decided to change the selection color. I don't often select stuff, but I think it looks cool. Let me know if it blinds you. Because of the way you do this, it fails passing as CSS 2.1, which is what the validator I was/am using validates. I don't know if it's valid in any other standard, but it works here :D
