The little owlies request that you hold onto your hats and socks and keep all wingtips inside the blog as it changes its location to the Owldaughter domain. We might be down for all of half an hour at midday today; you’ll likely not even sense motion as Blade skillfully manipulates time and space.

The owlies thank you for your attention. The new location will be posted soon so that you may all update your links and bookmarks accordingly.

(d) none of the above

All hail t!, who through asking me about the programme for the upcoming Canada Day concert led me to discover that the right sidebar wasn’t rendering the middle third at all in Internet Explorer.

It’s been fixed. The culprit? A tildy in a decorative position. I kid you not.

If you use IE, please, please get yourself something more reliable, and less asinine. I recommend Mozilla’s Firefox – quick to download, small program takes up less space, and it’s free. If you’ve never used tabs, be prepared to experience a world of wonder.

Click on the pretty icon and read up on it. Give it a go.

Get Firefox!

Ta-Da!

GGS-ZOOM Mk2 is fully operative!

So is Firefox. Go figure, but Blogger seems to like Firefox better than it liked Opera. Huh. Whatever.

Now I’m downloading Thunderbird to give it a whirl, because I don’t have a backup of Eudora (it was on the corrupted backup disc along with all my other programs) and I’ll be damned if I’ll use Outlook in any form.

Skippy is my current hero. I have to keep reminding myself that he likes doing this sort of thing, kind of like how I didn’t mind editing Scarlet’s theses and project papers. It’s what we do for friends.

Update: Oh yeah — Thunderbird rocks, although Firefox is still the coolest. Whee!
