Aside from that though, I haven't got any complaints. There are a lot of cute new buttons to play with, and I'll get around to pressing 'em when I'm off work. I'll also do some Iron Man bloggery (that every nerd should ... http://natsecorma.net/theredundantblog/2008/05/01/and-were-back/ My web mistress, the incomparable Zhayena, has informed me that she moving the host onto a new server tomorrow morning due to some stability issues with the one we're currently on.
