A lesson in properly closing <script> tags
Here I was thinking that my old TTC map was only helping a few dozen people a day. In goes my updated map and up go my visits by several hundred per day. It turns out that I was closing the Google Analytics script tag in the XML style (ie. <script .../>) and not as <script ...></script>. The culprit? IE, of course, which doesn’t support the former.

This blog has moved
I’ve moved my blog to another hosting service and have migrated all my posts to Wordpress. Hopefully there are no problems, but if you notice any errors or missing pages please let me know.
Update: Apparently the hosting service I am using has problems with category URLs. I have since implemented a work-around.

… and we’re back
My site has been down for the past few months, first because of a failed power supply and then because of a damaged irrecoverable hard drive. The last backup I made was over a year ago, hence the ancient entries you see below. Everything since September 1st, 2003 is now gone, including all my email for that period.
I still have to tweak a few things before I can get this weblog looking and behaving as it did before the crash. Syndicated sites are still down as well.

Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated
This is just a short note to let you know that I am still alive. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to craft a decent weblog entry and have let things fall to the wayside.
Here are a few items that I haven’t written about:
- Paul Martin. (I had an idea for a story a couple of weeks ago, but I’m sure everything which can be said has been said since then.)
- Jean Chrétien. (See above.)
- The Ontario Liberals. (They’re off to a bad start, to the surprise of no one.)
- David Miller. (Including a wish list of minor items I’d like to see him push during his term as mayor.)
- This site. (Major redesign in the works.)
- Java. (I hates it.)
These and other stories will appear in this weblog as soon as I am able to sit in front of a computer without having to resist the urge to kill.

Year one
One year ago yesterday crazedmonkey.com went live. Since then this site has seen just under 150,000 hits, 35,000 visits and over 15,000 unique visitors. (This site existed before November 12, 2002, but not at its current address. My weblog also existed before then, but as a Radio Userland account.)
I don’t write nearly as many entries as I did a year ago, but I’d like to think that I have successfully replaced quantity with quality.
