Autumn Cleaning

Over the last few weeks, due to religious and national holidays here in Turkey, I've finally freshened up Sensible Marks of Ideas after neglecting it for years. After reading Josh Kaufmann's The First 20 Hours, I was tempted to learn Ruby and rewrite the whole site, but I resisted the urge and contented myself with tweaking. Although the site still doesn't look wonderful (not least because my transparent PNG images don't seem to be properly transparent), I have at least fixed the broken CSS and PHP that was plaguing it. It could do with a complete redesign, but I don't have time for that.

On the content side, I've added a few more quotes to Learn Logic With Beavis & Butthead, put up “Guns… Lots of Guns”: The role of violence in The Matrix, which originally appeared in the unfortunately defunct Molly: a Pop-Culture Zine, and wrote the first new article in years, 80/20 Happiness. So all in all, I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself.
