Yesterday there were repeated problems with the availability of this site. I have contacted support and been assured that they’re working on the issue, so it all should be fixed by now.

This event brought me into a technical mood today, so I decided to fix some outstanding technical problems. Unknowingly to me, the last developments of the layout in the blog sections lead to bad rendering of the pages in Firefox (although they did not display any problems in Internet Explorer 7 or Opera). Despite all the development in browsers’ support for cascading style sheets, it would seem that some odd browser bugs will always pop up, no matter how CSS-compliant one’s design is. I found it frustrating that issues with browsers’ deviation from standards steal so much time, the very time which could be put in more productive tasks – such as adding content to the site. Well, I hope that I have succeeded in improving this so that everything looks as intended and fully readable in all three major browsers.
