The Black day realised.

So the Black Day has come to fruition. Today is the official last day for so many.

Today is the end of an era - this group of people is one of the most talented I've had the pleasure of working with. Monday will be very quiet around here :-(

Many of those departing have things to go to, so the mood today is fortunately upbeat.

LCA2006 Website Up

The linux.conf.au 2006 website has been turned on, replacing the dummy page that was there beforehand. Well done mjb and team!

Hint: book your airline tickets early :-)

On p.l.o.a. skin

sjh, have a look at the right-hand pane. What does it say?

As you can see, I'm not claiming the new look is my work :-) Most of the nice artwork belongs to p.g.o - I've just modified it to fit in with the LA website theme. There's more changes to come to p.l.o.a., but given my availability it'll be piecemail for a while, so I rolled out what I had so far.

Will he fix it?

Yes I will!

Ok, so I should have said in that previous post that I'll be fixing up p.l.o.a RSN. Just a bit time-strapped this morning :-)

p.l.o.a. upgrade - sortof

So I "finished" the p.l.o.a. upgrade, except that some people have found that it looks a bit broken under various OSes, browsers and configurations.

So why did I make it "live" if it's still broken? Astute readers noticed that in preparation for the new skin, I accidentally broke the original p.l.o.a. site. Whoops! So I had the choice of putting back the old site, or pushing out a nearly-but-not-quite-there new site.

The choice was easy - release early, release often :-)

Any reports of yuckiness welcomed. Just make sure you shift-reload in your browser to get the new CSS files before complaining.
