i sing of Olaf glad and big
-- e.e. cummings
i sing of Olaf glad and big
whose warmest heart recoiled at war:
a conscientious object-or
his wellbelovéd colonel(trig
westpointer most succinctly bred)
took erring Olaf soon in hand;
but--though an host of overjoyed
noncoms(first knocking on the head
him)do through icy waters roll
that helplessness which others stroke

Just some minor changes today:
- Changed the menu link "Content Feeds" to "All Content" to make it clearer what is there.
- Cleaned up the venue listing in the photo gallery to remove duplicates like "The Media Club" and "Media Club"
- Changed the sorting for events and venues from reverse alphabetical to alphabetical with smart handling of names that start with "The" (i.e. "The Fall" sorts under "F", not "T")
- Tweaked the database performance to make everything a little faster
- Fixed the purchase of Paid and Confirmed accounts
- Died a little because I wonder if anyone even notices these things.

Bloody fucking whooping cough... I finished off a ten-day course of antibiotics Monday. The bacteria that caused this is quite dead and gone, so I am not contagious, and technically I am not so much "sick" at this point as "injured." Random cells in my trachea and principal bronchi have been killed. I imagine my throat looks like a piece of gribbled wood at this point and I've got to heal from that.

I've repaired a few problems with the new site
- Replies to forum posts and comments on images and other pages are showing now.
- Early Adopters and Paid Users can make blog posts again
- Some glitches with the new Album/Upload feature have been fixed (still need to write instructions for this, though)
- The feed aggregator is back - lots of eye-candy, reviews from ID:UD and more
- Ads are hidden for Early Adopters and Paid Users
And on the "new" side of things:

Today I sent out a very rare mass-mailing ostensibly to announce some upcoming major changes to the site, but also to do a user "ping" to weed out inactive accounts.

Because of my previous history with this character and a certain international sporting event that shall remain nameless, it was suggested to me by a good friend that I simply had to put this together. Click the image for a larger view and look carefully...

My legs are very stiff today (and I'm sure they will be worse tomorrow). Why? As I work through the photos from last night it's apparent that in about a couple hundred of them I was kneeling or crouching to get the letters in. That's a couple hundred sustained half-squats, plus a half dozen trips up and down three stories worth of stairs, plus the awkward walk home pushing all my gear. Because photography is easy.
