As you can see, we’ve snazzified ourselves around here. Gargantuan thanks must be extended to Deb from “Sometimes I…” She made this redesign happen. I simply played Gilligan to her Skipper.
Henceforth, all 2003 Fanatical Apathy entries shall be Searchable. They shall be Instantly Archived. The Permalinks to various entries shall be truly Permanent. So it is written; so let it be… uh, written.
Also, I think there’s an RSS feed thingie around here somewhere. Probably on the wall or something, I prob’ly just gotta move a few doohickeys around and adjust the thingamabob a little… Let me know if it’s “on.”
Worry not, though: All your old, brilliant comments, along with the old archives (in the old format), can be accessed through that link over there on the right (the one that’s cleverly disguised with the words “Old Archives”).
More changes are to come, no doubt. But for now just come on in and make yourselves comfortable; after all, we’ve got a constantly-approaching war to watch, a new session of Congress to provide us with heartstopping thrills and chills, and a bank heist to plan… Truly, our cups runneth under.

1Yay!
A new look, and with <a href="http://felbers.net/mt/index.rdf">spiffy RSS</a> we can now pounce upon the morsels of wit like rabid budgies on crack! Wait, no, drugs are bad. I learned that from some politician,(or maybe it was a dealer. I’m not sure which.)
Still, YAY!!

3Wow. It’s so clean, so organized — it’s like having your closet redone!!
Now if I just knew what an "RSS" was I could let you know if indeed it is "on."

8Now that you are using movable type, I hear it’s really easy to ping weblogs.com when you update. that way, people who use blogrolls and other tools will be able to hear about new stuff right away.
Thanks!

9Hey! This loads so much more quickly! And I can finally write comments!
However… does anyone else find that the links bar overloads on top of the text? If so, how did you manage to fix it?
Thanks!

11Umm…one little problem. It says there are 10 comments as of right now on "Our Grand Reopening" but I can only read the first three (ending with mine). Perhaps once I hit the "post" button for THIS one, all the previous ones will appear.
Which is an interesting strategy…respond to how you THINK other people responded to you.
Paranoia strikes deep.

14Wow! Looks really great. The switch from left side to right side menu ought to help correct my repetitive "look left" syndrome.
Adam, you’re the greatest!

16Uh, the photoons don’t fit anymore…
But I guess not everyone runs at 1280×1024?
One request: could you make the link to the Forum bigger? It’s a little hard to find in all the links on the right now.
Oh, and maybe a little padding around the comments boxes and the bottom of the posts, the link underlines blend in with the borders.

17Looks Great!!! Neat, organized, simple and effective!!
So, how about an all expenses paid trip to beautiful Minnesota to make my house look like this? (now that you’ve got the hang of it)

18A Quick Guide to RSS: (for those that don’t live in their parent’s basement).
RSS is a new technology that allows folks like Good Mr. Felber publish new junk. It uses XML (magic pixies) to create snippets which are then picked up by clients (electronic sweatshop laborers) and formatted into HTML pages (doo-whickies).
The best part is that when your trying to find new ways to waste valuable corporate time, you can run a program that collects up the magic pixies for you and lets you know when new stuff is available.
If you too would enjoy being a geek (or maybe just looking like one) you can peruse a wide selection of nifty tools over at http://blogspace.com/rss/readers. I recommend both Beaver and FeedReader (although far too many jokes could be made about staring for hours at the first one).
They’re all very simple to use and darn addicting. Good luck! Have fun! And remember to change the tape on your glasses once every six months or so.

20The RSS works wonderfully. And it’s now syndicated on LiveJournal, so that all LJ users can add it to their friends lists. It can be seen at http://www.livejournal.com/users/fanaticalapathy/ .

21Mmmmmmmm, the goodness of MT. It’s both schweet and swellegant. And the LJ syndication feed is already done, now that’s productivity, baby!

22And now that you’ve moved into the MT zone - how bout a notification list for those who want to know when you post? Hmmm?
