In the last few days, I've noticed that several people appear to have registered here at the site without validating their account via e-mail. If that's a problem on my end (i.e., if you didn't get the e-mail you were supposed to receive after signing up, or it didn't function as advertised when you did get it), please drop me a line at jack [at] jackotoole.net and I'll take care of it. Thanks.

UPDATE: And while we're on the subject of the site, I'd like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the new (to me) links in the blogroll, including Interesting Times, Functional Ambivalent and Peach on the Beach. Go ahead and check 'em out, whydoncha?

[As always, the Standard Blogroll Note applies.]

MORE SITE NEWS: I haven't forgotten my promise to keep looking around for a reliable blog engine that (a) protects the site from comment spam, and (b) allows you good folks add your thoughts without having to go through the registration process. So far, Drupal looks like the most promising option, but I've had to hold off on any sort of implementation for technical reasons. (Its creators seem not to have made things easy for people with usernames like mine. Or Bill O'Reilly's. Or Conan O'Brien's. Or ...) Anyway, if a feasible solution (that is, one I can understand) to my problem ever pops up in the Drupal support forum, I'll get to work on converting the site as soon as possible. Until then, I guess we're just gonna have to keep dancing with them that brung us.
