Oh yeah.. the Stargate influence on the lettering in the center banner? (The letter A, done in a Stargate font)… that’s all Janice’s fault.. she’s become a Stargate geek! in fact, she even made me change the ringer on her phone to the Stargate theme music!

New Layout
As you can (hopefully) tell.. I’ve changed the site layout.
Instead of waiting for the final MT 3.2, I went ahead and upgraded to the beta 5 build. I’d been running it (the beta) for awhile with no problems, so here’s hoping it continues to be problem free. Janice’s blog, has been upgraded to 3.2b5 as well.. so if you haven’t seen a default template for 3.2 yet, head over there.
In addition to the MT upgrade, I’ve changed the style sheet.. I know its hosed on Internet Exploder..but, what do you expect? IE doesn’t support w3c standards yet (and if I remove all the ads, this page will validate against standards). I did test it in both Firefox and Safari for Mac, and it looks good there, so let me know what you think about the new look. Also, I’ve switched to dynamic publishing for all the individual entries, so let me know if anything seems sluggish..it hasn’t in any of the testing…but.. this is now the real world..so who knows what’ll break =)
Name Suggestions
So, now that we know Vegas is a she, we can really start coming up with names to argue about. Here’s a quick list of names I like, and I’m pretty sure Janice will have some up on her blog soon..
Maryn Jaina
Asajj Jade
Mara Jade
Vegas Gold (Ok.. really.. I wouldn’t do that to the kid… but… its a good stripper name)
Aeryn Jaina
And.. um.. really.. that’s about it that I can think of..
And of course, Kael’s suggestion of Yoda is still in the running… but I’m having a hard time coming up with a middle name for that one..
Playing with trains
Kael and I were playing with his trains, on his train table this afternoon. All of a sudden, he stands up, looks at me and says “I go look at one thing real quick”.
He then goes and runs over to my chair, climbs up, and starts mousing and clicking around. (I think he even managed to refresh the Six Apart webpage), He then turns and looks at me, says “I looked at one more thing” climbs down from the chair, runs back over to the table and starts playing again…
My son.. the geek
Or..Maybe not
Looks like I spoke to soon last night.. 6A is releasing beta 5 today, not the ‘final’ version of MT 3.2… so, it looks like I may get to upgrade this site to beta 5, so I can make sure I get all the templates and stuff updated while I have time… Which is ok, because as easy and smooth as these upgrades have been, going from beta 5 to the ‘final’ 3.2 should be painless
