Mon, Sept 29

» Went to A Viking Thyng this past Saturday and hung out with some old friends and met some new friends too. Amongst the neatest of those new friends are Danr Bjornsson and his lovely wife Isabel Ulfsdottir. They both taught several classes and I attended Danr's class on viking age art styles and Isabel's classes on Norse Glass Beads and Women in Norse Culture. You can get the notes to these classes on their website in their respective "Research Projects" sections. Thanks Danr and Isabel for a great day and I hope to see you again real soon!

» I really did it! I got rid of all the tables on this site! Death to tables! If you check out my source code you'll see that it's all CSS. The book I mentioned just below is a real gem and was extrememly useful and had all the info I needed to upgrade my site. My next task is to redesign the ICE site in the same manner.

» I've fiddled with my site design yet again, and will continue to do so on a regular basis since this is a personal site and I have more freedom to experiment willy-nilly here than I do on at my day job.

» I just bought Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation and once I read it I'm sure you'll see lots more changes to my CSS and the underlying structure of this site. It's all a big experiment!
