Thought I was being original...

But apparently not: this guy's blog also takes comments by email. (His links for reading or sending a comment are a lot better labelled than mine, so I might as well steal that too… :-)

In other news, I am finally getting close to being finished a new credit card payment page for work. The place that processes our CC payments has a new API, so this has been a good chance to rewrite the current page. I flatter myself that my version (helped out a lot by a simpler API) is much easier to understand than the old, and that's gratifying…but by the beard of Shuttleworth, I'm sick of web work. It feels like that's all I've been doing since January, and I'm really looking forward to being done with it.

Oh, and another thing -- don't take abstracts for mathematical pages in PDF. Everyone uses LaTeX or plain text for a reason, and that reason is that it's easy on the sysadmin. :-)
