Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

ita, are you eliminating the css.buffistas.net site? Since the net nanny at work has blocked the b.org iteration, it's been my workaround for the last year. I'd hate to see it go, but if it's a resource-hog, I understand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hadn't really thought about that--you're in the same boat as Jon, eh?

I wonder if there's a simple way to give you guys a .net way in without maintaining two sets of code.

Either way we'll figure something out.

amy--to answer your press question, I'll migrate the customisations over. Or more probably, I'll forget so remind me.

Yep, but we only need a dinghy, not a yacht. As long as I can read and post, it's good for me. I know Jon will probably need stompy functionality, but I shall be easy to please.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

d'oh! I didn't even notice which thread I posted that in...

Bad stompy!

Maria, Jon, I've set up a domain alias of alt.buffistas.net. That should hopefully provide an alternate way in, but I don't know how transparent it is. As things stand it runs exactly the same code and exactly the same data as buffistas.org, so requires no extra maintenance to keep it up to date.

The css version works fine for me. I suspect slowness in bringing up some sections is from my specific connection.

The .org version still is weird.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ack! Same here!

So, ita, is the favicon really changing?

No.
