The new site design is (obviously) up.
The heavy-lifting bits of the change are done, but I sill have some stuff that I want to do, and I still need to go through and make some style and code tweaks here and there, and I also have to re-vamp large swaths of the static content. In other words, the slow drift of change will continue over the next several weeks.
All in all not bad work for a semi-snowed-in weekend.
We were supposed to get a piece of the storm that slammed the mid-west to the mid-atlantic Friday and yesterday, but we did not get nearly as large a piece as I had hoped for. I think that we got maybe 4-5 inches all told. Quite a disappointment since my co-workers were speaking in hushed tones on Friday about the 12-16 inches that the weatherman said we were supposed to get.
It didn't really start to snow on Friday until after lunch, and then it was not so much snow as it was slush falling thickly out of the sky and smothering everything. I ended up leaving work a little after 3, since I decided that I didn't want to deal with the slush and the idiot drivers and Friday rush hour all at once. I was actually one of the last people to leave the office. My co-workers all started to take off as soon as the first flakes started to hit the ground.
I didn't think that it was that bad, but what do I know? After all, I grew up in the Cleveland snowbelt, and then lived in Ithaca and Ann Arbor, and tend to view everything short of an actual blizzard white-out as "not that bad". Speaking of actual blizzard white-outs, I would like to have one very much. That, or a good ice-storm.
Today is the Super Bowl, and John and I will celebrate it in the usual way - by making and eating nachos, drinking beer, and not watching the game at all. Not even for the commercials. Niether of us knows when it actually starts, and we only have the vaguest idea of who (The Saints and some other team) is playing in it. We are not sports fans.
