Stylegala Likes Us!

They like us, they really, really like us! In all seriousness we were very pleased to find that we made it onto the wonderful, and highly inspirational Stylegala site today. We’ve received a small boatload of e-mails from folks all around the world (gotta love that internet) offering praise and we read and greatly appreciate them all.

The wishingline.com site on Stylegala

The Stylegala site was one of the ones that really solidified our decision to push the envelope a little by not restricting ourselves to even a 1024 × 768 screen size and to go a little further. Although designed for 1280 width, the site still comfortably fits into a 1024 window but with a bit of the logo cut off. That said, it still fits with our own identity — just look at our business cards.

Muchas gracias to John Peele for the kind words and David Dickerson for submitting the site!

Fixes And Updates In The Works

There are still a number of major outstanding issues lingering following our May 1st Reboot launch (technically May 2nd, but who’s counting…). We are actively tracking down the Movable Type issues we experienced immediately following stage one of the launch plan (backing up the existing server data). Hopefully these bugs which generally affect us more than you will be resolved shortly.

On the plus side, now that we’ve had some time to sleep and recover from what was one of the longest nights we’ve had in a long time, the ‘…On A Long Piece Of String’ blog is back up and running and should be accessible from both its old location and new home thanks to the magic of symbolic links. They really saved the day this time.

Rounding Applause

Thanks to all the cool cats (not literally, though we could tell you a story about an ice-cold cat) who wrote to us today and who stopped by to look around the site — there’s been a lot of you and that makes up very happy. Come back again soon!

Look for a big blog design update sometime in the coming weeks (hopefully sooner rather than later) along with improved site code happiness, software distractions and more.

Almost There…

Due to some unexpected technical problems with Movable Type and our current web host, we didn’t end up making the May 1st deadline as some of you might have noticed. We’re close — it’s only May 2nd (and extremely early in the morning here we might add).

We’ve had to temporarily remove the majority of the contents of the ‘…On A Long Piece Of String’ blog. We know you’re going to go into major withdrawal and you can rest assured that we’ll be working on it — right after we get some sleep.

You just had to know it couldn’t go that smoothly… Everything was going too well…
