squibix design looks new!
I like pretending I have a real design company, and so far it's worked to the point where people are really paying me to design things for them. What fun, eh? To further the illusion, I've purchased a real domain for squibix design: take a look at the new site at its new location, squibixdesign.com! It was always a little embarrassing to have my big fancy company operating out of a subdirectory, but that taint is now removed. At least, it's removed as far as anyone out on the www can tell; from my point of view here things are pretty much the same, because the site is actually just a subdomain of the squibix web (as you can see if you take a look at design.squibix.net). But no one has to know that, and now I can put a link to the site in my professional-looking email signature without any fear of derision. Derision about the url, that is; there still might be terrible embarrassing display problems with the site, because I didn't get to test it on as many browsers as I would have liked. Stupid Windows doesn't let you have IE6 and IE7 on the same machine, and those are some pretty different browsers. So if you happen to take a look at the site and happen to see anything odd, let me know.
(Of course, I'm also vaguely aware that this very blog is pretty messed up in IE6. Who's still using that horrible old thing, though?! If you can't manage to switch to Firefox, at least get IE7. It's finally got support for transparent .pngs!)
While we're talking about terribly boring technical matters, I should mention that I changed the RSS feed so that you can now see the entirety of each post in your reader. A few other sites (notably boing boing) do it that way, and I think it's nice and efficient. So now you never have to actually visit the blog, if you don't want to... unless of course you want to take another look at that beautiful masthead picture of Rascal. Which reminds me, isn't it about time for a new design? It isn't so much winter any more...
