new

So I have instituted some new things around here, the most obvious of which is a new default theme. I started it months ago when I was unemployed, then I ended up over-employed for the summer and never got the bugs worked out, but... eh. Close enough for now. I'll pick at it again when I have the time. (The schedule at Job A and Job B is lightening up, but web design work is picking up, so...)

Next, and far less obvious, is some new "rules". I have been getting absolutely slammed by bandwidth eating spammers (and I've gotten no real comments for more than a year) so I upgraded the version of Drupal to a far more secure one, disallowed anonymous commenting, and now require new members to wait for me to approve them before they can comment.

So it's been a busy couple months here in Embeeland (sounds weird... never mind). I moved back to Connecticut and have been looking for work. Actually, it was more like I sat back and let work find me, and it happened. Crazy, huh? I ended up doing some weird stuff, put a lot of miles on my car, did a bunch of interviews... and now I have one retail job, one office job that starts soon, and I may possibly be in the running for a huge high-pressure corporate job. I'm thinking of bowing out of that last one. Kinda freaks me out, plus there's a lengthy commute involved, and like...

My apologies for the lack of a comic this morning. I have been flat-out working and/or being social for the past... week or two? I've lost track. Yeah, that's how stressed I have been! Anyway, tomorrow sometime (hopefully) I'll put up a new, experimental comic, wherein I draw what happened to me on a particularly interesting day... kind of a comic diary. It's experimental because I'm going to be drawing somewhat realistic-looking people. LOL. Anywho, that'll be tomorrow, and we'll see if I can either do that on a schedule or suddenly come up with more of my usual one-panel thingers.
