All this time, it turns out, people using IE5.5 (36 so far this month),
and perhaps IE5.0 (44 so far this month), have been unable to read my
website: The left and right sides of the text were simply cut off. I knew
IE6 didn't show the vertical borders, but at least it showed the whole
text.
Somehow, it feels similar to suddenly finding out you've been walking
around all day with mismatched socks, or a torn shirt — assuming
those things weren't part of your fashion statement. It's simply a little
embarrassing. Anyway, it should all look fine now. The vertical borders
even show up in IE6.
Oh, and I'm working on a new layout, so here are samples before and after, just in case the site
looks completely different when you read this.

I just noticed entry number 13 wasn’t showing. Of course, which other
entry could it be?
The file had the wrong permissions. I fixed it, so you
can go read it now. Scoot. It’s about writing Gimp
plug-ins.

As I mentioned, installing Bryar was not
completely straightforward. Luckily, it is architected well, so making the
necessary modifications was easy.

Although I've been posting some thoughts on my home page already, it was
not yet what anyone would call a blog. Mostly, I was annoyed that I had to
hand-edit the HTML. Of course, there was also no possibility to post
comments, there were no permalinks, etc. This had to change.
I took a look at blosxom, but quickly
decided that it wouldn't satisfy my needs. In particular, it used the
modification date of its input files as the date of the blog entries. This
is a nice idea in itself, but I want to be able to edit — update
— my posts without worrying that they'll change dates.
Luckily, I found Simon Cozen's article on
Bryar, and today I finally got it working. This is not to say it was
that hard, just that I have been procrastinating. Of course, not everything
went swimmingly, but that's for another day.
So here it is, my very own blog.
