ex machina

is this here comment thingy turned on?

check. check. check.

update: i suppose that it's funny that i can't get comments working. i think i followed the directions. honest.

update: yeeesh. o.k. somehow i got some bad comment tags in the template. who knows how that happened. and after i fixed them i see a little comment link, but bad, bad things happen if you click on the link. i'm not really trying to make some kind of usability point. i really, honestly can't get comments working. if anyone has any ideas, er, i guess email me. i'm guesing that it has to do with the new fancy-schmancy pretty-url redirect scheme colliding with my relative url pointing to my css file?

update: o.k. don't use relative urls to point to your css files. otherwise the pretty-url redirect breaks. i don't think i like that. amusingly, now that i fixed the css problem, clicking on the "comments" link doesn't actually appear to do anything. i must be missing something obvious, because it can't really be this difficult.

update: that was painful, but it's working now.

hmmm. for some strange reason, i can't seem to enclose the comment tags with ItemPage and get it to display properly.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
