While you, Bunky, are waiting with bated breath...

...waiting to see what General Potemkin Patraeus has to say, I, on the other hand, am remodeling YAME World Headquarters in keeping with my absolute policy of doing stuff first and figuring it out later (come to think of it...oh, well). There are some things about the current arrangement that bug me, among them that the photo albums, the way they're currently set up, one of which is they do not seem to work with older versions of OS X (and I don't know how well they work in Windoze); the new ones may not work any better but at least they will be different, and the only other choice.

If you have subscribed to one of the existing photo albums your RSS link will break, but you can drop by headquarters and re-subscribe to the new stuff. (Eventually there will also be an album like the soon-to-be-old ones for photo sharing - it will sync with iPhoto and, therefore, with the iPhone and the new iPod Touch). And yes, the Autumn blog will soon disappear as well. Don't worry, there will still be an Autumn and there will still be pictures of it, just in a different (and I hope better) way.

Further, on the technicalities of things, it seems to me the primary headquarters link, web.mac.com/tcompton/, works a whole lot better than the redirect link, ted.blogsite.org. I will maintain the redirect link for the convenience of those who want to use it (and will tweak it a bit if possible), but using the primary link is recommended.

Meanwhile work avoidance will continue apace.
