Reported Problems

Comments Page

One of my friends reports that, when he clicks to add a comment, he gets taken to a blank page. He uses Firefox.

I have been unable to duplicate the problem with Netscape, Internet Explorer, Opera, Konqueror, or Mozilla. I get taken to a page displaying the post, along with any posted comments, and the form for adding a comment at the bottom of the page.

If you run into this, please let me know.

Font Size

After some friends told me that the fonts, especially on the sidebar, seemed very small, I increased the size of the fonts. Even so, different browsers seem to give different results. If you are still having trouble, I recommend that you check your browser’s settings to see whether there is a default font size setting and try changing that.

Or get Opera. Opera rocks..

See your browser’s help file for how to find and change the font display setting.

Here’s the results I got in testing the site with the browsers I have (I shrank the pictures down to 400 pixels wide to fit them in this page).

In Opera 8 for Linux:

In Opera 8 for Windows:

In Internet Explorer, set for medium fonts. IE set for small fonts was almost painful:

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
