colophon: In publishing, a colophon describes details of the production of a book. This information generally includes the typefaces used, and often the names of their designers; the paper, ink and details of the binding materials and methods may also receive mention. In the case of technical books, a colophon may specify the software used to prepare the text and diagrams for publication.

This site is published and maintained using WordPress version 2.9.x. The theme used here is something I’ve created and is called “Fluid Tango II”. “Fluid”, because I wanted a theme that was flexible in using the width of the browser window rather than being a fixed width; “Tango”, because it is based on the Tango Desktop Project’s color palette; “II” because it is a two-column theme. The theme itself is definitely a work in progress, and I have quite a few things left to work within it, but as of late June 2009, there was enough of the basic functionality finished to start using it. It supports widgets, making the management of the content in the sidebar simpler and more flexible, and support WordPress’s plugin API.
I rely on the excellent Akismet WP plugin to keep most of the kruft out of the comments queue. I was originally reluctant to enable comments for fear of a spam landslide, but so far Akismet has allowed just one thin slice of spam through and has had zero false positives, with an accuracy rate in excess of 99.8%. I moderate all comments, so please comment if you have something to say but also be patient if you don’t see yours appear immediately.
I use Google Analytics to track traffic to the site, and while the statistics themselves are not all that impressive, the tool itself is extraordinary and continues to become even more so.
I also use this site as a place to post information about other stuff I am working (e.g., projects like a Komodo extension for CFML).
