However, Meebo still has a place in my bookmarks toolbar. I've written up a list of pros and cons to using Gmail + Chat in place of Meebo: Cons Window management: To me, ... http://www.rcboyce.com/blog/2008/03/08/feature-comparison-of-meebo-and-gmailchat/ Yes, while things may look more or less the same right now, big changes are indeed in progress. I've just finished rewriting the code behind the consolidated front page to use object-oriented PHP5. I've also re-added the RSS code that was somehow lost, so the RSS feed is ... http://www.rcboyce.com/blog/2008/02/16/welcoe-to-the-new-rcboycecom/ Yes indeed, it's that time of year again.  Today marks the launch of my new K2 style, Upstream Tokyo.  It's back to a lighter palette, which will probably be a bit more seasonable in a month or two.  There's also a defined shadow around the content area, which is a ... http://www.rcboyce.com/blog/2008/02/13/upstream-tokyo/ Yes, the new front page for rcboyce.com is live.  Content-wise, it should be almost identical to the old one, but hopefully you'll still notice a difference. :)  I may need to rewrite some of my date-rendering code at some point, though... http://www.rcboyce.com/blog/2007/12/05/new-front-page/ Um, let's go ahead and forget that that abortion of a fall theme ever happened. Back on Stormy Horizon, which should have a new release with some additional CSS fixes after finals next week. I'll probably put together a nice winter-y theme sometime over semester break as well. In ... http://www.rcboyce.com/blog/2007/12/04/early-dec-update/ K2 is hitting Release Candidate now, and there seems to be a need for some slight changes to my styles. As you can see on the blog, I'm working on a new fall-themed one at the moment, with fixes for the other three coming soon. http://www.rcboyce.com/blog/2007/11/01/k2-rc/ Google Reader now has a search feature.
