Sooo…

I have recently updated my “About Me” page with a new bio - hope you like it.

And after Jen’s advice, changing some fonts on the Greenery theme to make it more legible.

Any other suggestions?

…same as the old site (shite).

We’ve got a new look going on here, obviously.

It’s the same old content but with a shiny new wrapper. Me likey. Do You?

You can now choose which theme you like, cause all of you kept asking for different ones.

Have a look and let me know which is your fave?

looking at my stats, apparently “wave my private parts at your antics you cheesy lot of second-hand electric donkey bottom biters” is a search keyphrase to find my blog.

Insane!

It was time.

I’ve updated the design with something that I hope works well for everyone, and shows my love for the Mario.

If you’re reading this via the RSS feed, please come take a look!

So why did I do it?

* I wanted something a bit more fun looking.
* I wanted to flex my design and WordPress editing muscles.
* I never really liked the fonts of the old design.
* I wanted to experiment with a left-column layout.
* I wanted to shrink the height of the header and get more content above the fold.

I think this design does a much better job of showing people what theGeneva is all about. My biggest worry with making the move was alienating anyone in my community, and newcomers as well. It was crucial that the design be inviting and open. I think it’s both, but with more flair.

I’ve still got a bit of fine tuning to do in a few places, but I’m ecstatic with how it turned out.

But now it’s your turn — What do YOU think?

Take a poke around, look at some posts, pages, search, etc. and let me know your thoughts!

Added a new photo gallery called Pre-Gastric Bypass - not long now!

updated the photo gallery tonight - still playing around with it a bit.

Yes, Barry and Jen, I know I need to add some new photos - will definetly take some at Crimbo!

Software doesn’t just appear on the shelves by magic. That program shrink-wrapped inside the box along with the indecipherable manual and 12-paragraph disclaimer notice actually came to you by way of an elaborate path, through the most rigid quality control on the planet. Here, shared for the first time with the general public, are the inside details of the program development cycle.

1. Programmer produces code he believes is bug-free.
2. Product is tested. 20 bugs are found.
3. Programmer fixes 10 of the bugs and explains to the testing department that the other 10 aren’t really bugs.
4. Testing department finds that five of the fixes didn’t work and discovers 15 new bugs.
5. See 3.
6. See 4.
7. See 5.
8. See 6.
9. See 7.
10. See 8.
11. Due to marketing pressure and an extremely pre-mature product announcement based on overly-optimistic programming schedule, the product is released.
12. Users find 137 new bugs.
13. Original programmer, having cashed his royalty check, is nowhere to be found.
14. Newly-assembled programming team fixes almost all of the 137 bugs, but introduce 456 new ones.
15. Original programmer sends underpaid testing department a postcard from Fiji. Entire testing department quits.
16. Company is bought in a hostile takeover by competitor using profits from their latest release, which had 783 bugs.
17. New CEO is brought in by board of directors. He hires programmer to redo program from scratch.
18. Programmer produces code he believes is bug-free….
