Hello,

In recent days, since last I wrote a new article, this website has gone through considerable adjustment. Many changes I made are actually invisible, being matters of importance to the server and other supporting systems. Some changes are visible, but you would have to look closely, such as the way my image addresses have been cleaned up, dropping three superfluous folders from the url, and other adjustments for thumbnail and other adjusted images. Other changes are clearly evident if you've seen the site before.

Up at the top, I've added a daylight map of the earth, and another of the moon face. I think of these as a kind of solar weather. These gadgets are powered by Google, and so have links under them. A goal will be to imitate the gadgets sufficiently on a local scale that I can retake control of the appearance of those links on my site. A general idea in my mind for that involves still images loaded based on the time and date and an internal translation of the clock to the index of the image. As far as I can tell, that seems to be the same with the gadgets I'm borrowing.

In passing I'll note that the right sidebar, below the header, is largely unaltered. It contains my name and image, the subjects (tags) of my articles, and an archive of my writings here. Left of this sidebar, heading the other two columns is a section of web links. These used to be a left sidebar, but make more sense to me here.

In the two columns below the web links, I have separated my articles into medium and long. The left column displays the entire article, and will usually be videos or other fixed-width media. I probably will shrink the size of the videos in the future, and may even implement a system where I can have the view set the video size. Technical details are priming in my mind. In the central column, the articles are limited to a preview length; these articles will be used mostly for articles which run longer than you'd read in a glance.

*Cheerfully accomplished*
