In case you haven’t noticed with my references to software analogies, occasionally odd conversational mannerisms, and interspersed star trek/star wars/80’s TV quips, I am a bit of a geek. While my wife has worked hard to reform my lifelong social and fashion ineptitudes, at heart, I still want a lightsaber.
I may also fly stunt kites. And know a thing or two about 3D animation.
As part of this curse, I also tend to like to read the stats of my blog, even down to the nitty bits of mindnumbing server data, looking for clues about well,youall. Don’t worry, I don’t know anything about what you did last summer.
That is my other hat - the security software engineering hat. But I digress.
No, for Almost Fit, what I find most interesting is [geek alert!] a) errors in the logs [and thus why I am leaving my current hosting company soon], and b) [geek alert at DefCon 5!] patterns in the configurations of the computers that visit the site. Again, nothing personal is to be found there - it’s all fascinating minutia like the number of Windows computers vs. Macs that visit, and so forth.
So here’s the apology:Somehow, for months now, it has escaped my attention that76% of the visitorsto Almost Fit have a screen resolution of 1024×768. Being geekish and all, all of my computers at home (yes, multiple - I had as many as 6 not long ago, that I actually USED…I may need an intervention) had the biggest screens I could afford, with resolutions set to extremely high numbers. Prior to today, this site’s layout was not ideal for 76% of the people stopping by. OK, let’s be honest - it looked like crap, and was difficult to read. For this, I sincerely apologize.
But I am changing my ways. If you noticed that Almost Fit looks slightly different, it’s because I’ve essentially reduced the size of the header image and moved things around a tiny bit. I hope it helps. And I’ll try to do better in the future. In the coming weeks I’m hoping to complete an overhaul of the site, and hopefully it will be received as an improvement. And if not, I may have to sponsor a “big monitor” contest.
Photography on Almost Fit
I wanted to mention a word about the photographs on this site, as I’ve had several folks comment on them (favorably). All photos on the site were taken either by me or by April, unless otherwise cited/noted. We are both artists, so photography is one of many manifestations of that.
At any rate, if you are interested in reusing the photos on your personal blog or purchasing high resolution versions, please seethis page on our photographs. I’ll be setting up a portfolio site soon as well, which will show a much broader spectrum of photos that are available.
Back to the salt mines. Thanks for reading.
