New Site Style
I've wanted to come up with a better site style — one that isn't as affected by the gamma problem and that has a lesser chance of being screwed up by my protanomaly — so here it is. The old style, now called 'pretentious', is still available, and I've restored the style switcher bar at the top of each page. The 'silly' style is still borked, though.
As usual, I only really design for Safari and Mozilla — so if you are still using IE and you care how it looks, you should check out the site in one of these (and clear IE's cache, as it really doesn't like changes to css). There are also a couple of nice touches that are only available (so far) in Safari — so if you use Firefox on the Mac you might take a look at the site with Safari just to see what you are missing.
I've also been making some site changes in order to deal with the referrer spam zombies. Hopefully things won't break too badly.
Update: And now google has a solution: rel="nofollow".
It won't help with the current zombies, but it will make the technique less succesful in the future — assuming anyone bothers to implement it.
I wonder how long it'll be until this particular crop of zombies gets reaped? Will we still be seeing referrers from these assholes in a year? In five?
