New Skin

If you've been here before, you'll notice things have changed quite a bit. I created a new skin (simply called "mysimple") that I like better than that old Monobook. This one leaves more room for articles and stuff, plus the toolbar across the top should stay at the top of the screen no matter how far down you scroll (no Javascript required, just CSS).

No more talking!

So a bunch of bastard robots and cabbages have been spamming my talk pages, so no more talking. Someday I'll add a captcha for un-loggedin users to edit talk pages. For now, you'll just have to contact me directly, or keep it to yourself.

St. Tibb's Day

Tomorrow is St. Tibb's day. Aren't you psyched!

Secure HTTP and new logo

Okay, so first of all, check out my new logo up in the top left. Like it? I do. Symbolizes my "worship" of the Sun and the Sea. Check out "solar wave" for some cool other renderings.

Secondly, since bringing up the new server ("frigg"), I've got SSL running, so you can access this site "securely*" at https://bmearns.net. So there's a lot to qualify in terms of the actual security this offers, so read more at Project:Secure.

I host and maintain this website to serve as a repository for all sorts of things, from technical tutorials and documentation—computers, electronics, physics, math, etc.—to my thoughts on social, political, and religious topics. Please feel free to look around and leave comments on the talk pages, or contact me. You can search using the field to the left, or start browsing different categories of pages with the links in the title box above, or use the "random page" link to the left to view a random page.
