Well, in case you’re using a text browser, I’d like to point out that I have a shiny new layout. I’m a big, big fan, and I hope everyone else likes it too. This is the first layout I can remember doing that doesn’t feature any green. It’s a bit weird for me.
Anyway, excuse the mild bugs, which I should be fixing on my lunch hour tonight, and help me celebrate: exactly one year ago today, I started my counter. Over the last year, I’ve gotten (as of now) 85,701 hits. That’s an average of a bit more than 230 per day, most of which I blame on the fact that Steve, John, Keddy, and myself all use it as our home page. If anyone else does too, let me know.
A more important milestone is the fact that it’s Pugsley’s birthday. Happy 21st, you big…guy…you.
Everyone, call me this afternoon. I want to hang out — I feel like I’m living in a backshift bubble. I hate that.

The new layout is indeed mighty sexy. I likes it a lot. The blue egg is a nice touch.
Pugs
The new layout frightened me at first, because when I first loaded the site it was the old layout but with no borders or logos, and then I reloaded the site and everything was very different. But I like it so it’s all ok now
Russell
Happy Birthday Pugs! And your not alone with that reload thing, it happened to me too, but I knew there was supposed to be a new layout so it didn’t scare me.
Mark@CS
Erm…it’s not an egg. I’m not sure what it is, though, so I’ll just call it a "blanderfield" for now.
This layout is almost done — just have to add a decorative side image on the left. Mind you, I’ll be tweaking it for months…
Crap, I just remembered I have to update the XSL files, too.
Christy
Quite sexy. I wish I could do things like this, but I am hopeless at design.
Kitta
Looking good Mark. The main image makes me want to eat some eggs, mmm eggs, blue eggs.
Happy birthday Pugs, I hope you have a good one. Someone give Pugs a birthday hug from me.
Mark@Work
I’m sure that if I was to hug Pugs for you, he wouldn’t enjoy it nearly as much as he would one from you.
Mark@Work
Oh, and thanks, Christy. That Yahoo! idiot stuff is great. I wish *I* had rainbow text.
Kitta
Shouldn’t you be taking Pugs to a strip club, isn’t that the thing to do on a guy’s 21st?
Russell
Maybe elsewhere yeah, but here you only have to be 19. Besides… there’s no real decent strip clubs around here.

Hey kool layout. Clean and nice. Nice choice of colours. I like it. However, the Opera browser I’m viewing your site with displays the navigation on the right hand side a little off. But everything else is fine and kool.
Pugs
Mmmmm birthday hug from Kitta. Yea the strip clubs around here are crap and besides its not really my kind of thing.
Tay=Yum
