I took a break from blogging for a while, mostly to keep my head from exploding during the election. I’m sure my thousands (dozens? anyone?) of readers were sorely disappointed. Or maybe not.

From a news item today:

WASHINGTON – Multiple congressional computers have been hacked by people working from inside China, lawmakers said Wednesday, suggesting the Chinese were seeking lists of dissidents.
Two congressmen, both longtime critics of Beijing’s record on human rights, said the compromised computers contained information about political dissidents from around the world. One of the [...]

I’m giving the K2 theme a whirl to see if I like it. So, expect some breakage over the next couple of days.
I’ve already found a couple of issues. The “Advanced Navigation” is broken, so I’ve disabled it — easy to do in K2’s control page. Images wider than the main column aren’t being shrunk [...]
