2005 October 14

It has been five years (about the time I passed my qualifying exam and began my PhD research in earnets) since this site has been actively updated. In that time, a lot of cobwebs formed at the Ahimsa Coffehouse. Pages which should have been updated were not and the content on this site became increasingly dated.

That is about to change.

Over the next few months, I will be updating the existing content to take advantage of what is now accepted cross-platform design. Key among these upgrades is the use of cascading style sheets. Cascading style sheets have gained wide acceptance since 1999 and I can reasonably expect that nearly all visitors will be using a browser capable of interpreting styles.

Pages which have been updated to use styles (but not necessarily updated for content) will appear in a grayscale motif. Once the entire site has been overhauled, I may or may not switch to a more colorful scheme. In any case, the inclusion of styles should significantly reduce the complexity of such a change when compared to editing raw html.
