Roughly 3 hours ago, my computer froze. As usual, I hit the reset key only to see a black screen and white text alerting me that windows could not load. In some ways this was a blessing because it meant I would finally have to reinstall windows so my laptop could start running decently again.Since I'm used to this sort of thing(windows breaking), I keep all of my important files on a seperate harddisk from the windows install. So I'm back, and I must admit... things are running a lot better. Now ask me how much I'll enjoy running the full battery of windows updates since 2001 on Friday night. Or not, its up to you.

As soon as I switched over to this new theme my search engine traffic plummeted. I was beginning to suspect that the spiders had confused the javascript that generates the markup for this theme's curves with an attempt to show two pages: one for spiders, one for humans. As it turns out however, it was a test site that I had forgotten to delete that was also showing Nick Lewis: the blog.
So google found the test site, and apparently knocked my search engine traffic in half. This morning I removed the test site, and my search engine traffic doubled, and is now at normal levels once again.
