Miscellaneous Stuff
Currently in: Berlin
supernaut was slightly broken, things didn't work and looked messy. I decided to ditch Movable Type and move to WordPress.
The theme isn't mine, it is a Blueprint CSS framework I'll rebuild supernaut on eventually. Rebuilding rather quick as an end-of-year distraction. Please don't cringe while I fix things. Not especially exciting, just don't expect wonderfulness at the moment.Now mostly fixed, reports of discoveries of wierdness would be happily received.Make Me Happy:
