You may have noticed that some things on the site look pretty crappy right now. I'm in the process of upgrading to Movable Type 3.33, from the ages-old 2.61, to try to cut down on the 10-20 minutes a day I've been spending trying unsuccessfully to keep up with the deluge of spam comments. The upgrade itself went surprisingly smoothly, but I failed to realize that MT would callously overwrite my CSS file without warning me. So I've gotten it back to the point where everything's at least legible, and everything should be pretty much back the way it was by tonight when I can retrieve a backup copy of the file. Until then I'll be playing with the new tools I have to combat the spammers.

Update: back to normal now, as long as you don't go exploring in the archives too much, as I know you're dying to do. But now that I'm 'back in the game' of caring about how this site looks, more changes may be afoot.
