Most of my troubles stem from a shotgun marriage between the Kubrick stylesheet and the original PhpWiki layout, and there are all sorts of funky interactions between both sets of styles - Maybe I’ll take the plunge and port over K2 when Michael deems it final, or (time permitting) roll my own site design again.

I am, however, getting a lot more sleep, which is great.

HTTPrequests in a closet, but anyone wanting a tiny desktop computer should take a look at this. - Via João, this amazing presentation by sxip.com CEO Dick Hardt on “Identity 2.0”.
I’m going to start digging for more OSCON 2005 media (presentations are here), drop me a line if you know of anything particularly interesting.
