Crappy web pages over which I have dominion don’t just annoy me, they gnaw at my soul.  Each time an crappy UI or non-standard implementation of a tool is required, I feel that somewhere, a member of ICANN or the W3C cries a little and I feel responsible.  For the last two months, Team Interrobang used phpBB3 as its forum software and WordPress as its front end and, while  I absolutely adore WordPress, phpBB is a well intentioned pile of PHP, spit and duct tape.  This experiment was such a farce that I’m starting  a campaign to ignore Rev 4 of teaminterrobang.com and convince people that it just took us two longs months to switch from Joomla! to vBulletin and have posted such repeatedly.  Someone picked up on my attempted whitewash and replied to my statement that we’d never used phpBB with “We‘ve Always Been at War with Eastasia“.

Culturally aware bastard.

I’ve recently learned that I can engage a “turbo mode” on SuburbanAdventure, where users that have Google Gears enabled can get a specially rended version of the web page for apparently “wicked fast rendering”.  Of all things on the Interwebs, I think the blog is quite possibly the least resource intensive with the exception of Eudora webmail or IRC.  If you find that my awesome content is so mind-blowing that it’s brings your Altair 8800 to its knees, I’ll engage “TURBO MODE” so you can strap in and feel the Gs on your 4MHz chip.
