Changes and a Game
I’ve been messing around with the HTML on this site for the last few hours. The changes I’ve made to the main page should be mostly invisible, but I’ve done a lot of revamping of the individual pages. If you want you can take a look at an example; I’d appreciate your feedback on my putting comments in the sidebar instead of beneath the post. I’ve also added the validation links, but I’ve discovered that getting the HTML right for the page is going to be a little tricky ... you see, the HTML for the comments needs to be correct as well. So in the future, I may be performing minor editing of comments (nothing that should be visible) to fix HTML bugs in them. I’m actually one of the worst offenders, with my style of putting my comments in enclosing <p> tags. Moveable Type automatically puts comments in enclosing <p> tags, and that tag shouldn’t be nested.
I’m far too lazy to go back and correct every single comment on this site, so I imagine you’ll find lots of pages that don’t validate correctly. If you care and bring them to my attention, I’ll fix them (or try to). If you don’t care (and I sincerely doubt that it matters greatly in any situation you might encounter), then don’t bother.
Now for some happier news: I’ve written a game that you can try if you’re interested. Yes, I know it’s rather lame; yes, I know that this game is way better; but it’s mine. I wrote it. And I thought it was fun, both to play and to write.
I found out about the game at work; one of my co-workers brought it. For lack of better things to do (and because I actually like this sort of logic game), I played it rather obsessively over the next few days until I had it solved. You’ll need JavaScript enabled in order to play.
