Just a miscellaneous post on life etc. I’ve started using del.icio.us a lot recently. I just got tired of lots of links I didn’t use that often in my browser. Prior to Oct. 10, the last time I added anything to del.icio.us was Dec. 11, 2005. Anyway you can have a look at my links … Read more
Seems to be my pace these days. One day I my get back to blogging. I’ve been pretty busy spearheading the redesign on the UT Libraries site.

Yep the templates I talked about a bit ago are out. Actually they were released Friday afternoon. Creative Services has a nice site up for them, and this template roll-out is a lot more pleasant and well received than the one in 2003. Once again, Darren has a post about the design of the templates.

Well, I haven’t blogged it a while. Lots of stuff happening, trying to get settled into the new place in South Knox County. Also trying to get into a rhythm with the new job. And going to doctors. In the midst of that Christmas happens. We decided to spend Lisa’s first Christmas with as much … Read more
