"Happy Pi Day?" You guys, I'm really more in the mood for brownies. 7 hrs ago
Hey everyone, sorry (again) about the lack of updates. Life’s still crazy, as you can see.
Actually, I have a few interesting things in the hopper right now–and no, it’s not just more quotes. 
Hopefully in the next few weeks some things will be developed enough that I can start talking about them here. In the meantime, though, I’ve been updating my Flickr account more regularly… and be on the lookout for news on a redesign job I’m currently finishing up. 
Not that anyone would necessarily notice, but I’ve removed all SiteMeter tracking from the site. See, the blog was loading slowly, so I started running some tests, looking over everything with a fine-toothed comb. That’s when I found a rather conspicuous entry: a cookie from specificclick.net.
I did a search on the address, and found a number of blog posts all saying the same thing: on or around March 25, 2007, SiteMeter quietly accepted an unspecified amount of money and, in return, started embedding specificclick.net cookies into the pages of almost every SiteMeter account holder.
To date, the SiteMeter crew has said nothing about this outside of a few blog posts—nothing about specificclick.net is mentioned on SiteMeter.com, except for a vague “we’re adding new features” bit o’ hype that fails to mention how the new features are going to be collected.
Shane over at AskShane.org said it best:
- Admit you screwed up.
- Say what you’re doing to fix it.
- Offer some kind of appropriate compensation.
Because SiteMeter has used me to infect y’all’s computers, it’s the least I can do to point you to something that’ll show you how to remove specificclick.net cookies and block them forever.
So Sovereign Grace Ministries’ recent site redesign includes maps of church locations [US, World]? It’s certainly better than the long list they had before, but I still think the interactive Wayfaring map is better.
How’s that for a double entendre?
Not only does the main webSeitler.com site need major surgery; I’m also planning to give this here blog a facelift, too! I think I might just take the Midnight-to-6am timeframe to get all of that done. (I’ll have you know I do some of my best work when I’m incredibly sleep-deprived!) It’ll also possibly be the focus of my posts for a while…
Anyway, here’s a few of the sites I check out for some basic “oh, you can do that?” inspiration and gut-checks:

I’m pretty hungry… I’m gonna grab some cold fried chicken from the fridge.
