The site went down this morning and my hosts at Joyent diagnosed a problem with the red theme I was using, so I’ve temporarily switched to blue.
Quite by chance, this matches some words of a song I wrote a long time ago, which, I just found out were sung by Warren Fahey on Radio National Breakfast this AM. You can listen here (near the end).
I’ve added a caching plug-in to speed up performance. Please advise if you notice any benefit, or any adverse side effects. If you are locked out altogether, you can email me or reach me on Facebookfinal conflict the download

While I’m personally partial to a site drenched in shades of blue, in your case I am vaguely concerned that this is all a smokescreen for a shift in politics. You do, after all, humour more than a few from ‘the other side’…
totally unrelated but couldn’t find a contact form. please contact me, I found a crapload of injectd links on one of my sites justing your address to point to other sites. check out this link.

there are a bunch more but dont want this comment to get tagged as spam.
Looks quite strange under Ubuntu Firefox, the header image and the moto is not visible (all white) unless I select it (where it appears through reverse background of selection)
It’s much (much!) slower and clunky. Admittedly I’m on IE6 so that may have something to do with it. It also freezes every second page. Something is wrong. It’s ugly.
And the numbers on all the old comments have been lost. “Progress” as retardation. Just like financial “innovation”. Sad.
OK, I’ll fiddle with it a bit and see if I can find something better.
The header image(text) and moto are now visible.
Id like to see the font blacker and a larger screen but I can see the John Quiggan title now
oops – thats Quiggin
Yes – its taking shape nicely now – this new look website is looking good….more detail and buttons today.
