Internet deprivation brings site updates

I did not pay for internet access soon enough to have it ready right now. I have to wait until tomorrow, most likely, to be able to use it. In the interim, I've fixed a minor problem in the Albums. The albums were showing a link to the deprecated Pics Page, so I had to modify the theme and recompile each album. Sigh. I will have to give cthumb another look soon.

Blog status
I went ahead and made a blog project, which you can find at Blog. There are no RSS feeds for it yet, but there will be ... eventually. When I put out some RSS feeds, I will make an RSS primer for those of you who do not know what RSS is or how to read RSS feeds.

The Projects: Welcome page (Projects Page) has its own separate wiki now. This might now mean much for you, the casual browser, so just know that having things set up like this helps me to get my projects published faster. Once I have internet access, that is ... grr!

Yay! I finally somewhat fixed the horrible brokenness of Emacs Wiki: Emacs Wiki Mode that has been plaguing me lately. Interwiki links still do not display correctly, but at least they publish now. The change? Add this to the bottom of emacs-wiki.el:

;; Don't use emacs-wiki-url-server-regexp anymore
(defvar emacs-wiki-url-server-regexp emacs-wiki-url-regexp)

The `emacs-wiki-relative-link-maybe' function was using the nonexistent `emacs-wiki-url-server-regexp' variable. So what I did was give it a definition that should be at least somewhat close to the intended meaning. I suspect that this code is in Gary Vaughan's branch, so I will go look for it when this friggin internet comes on.

One more change: I tweaked the coloring of all of the source code files that are available in Projects. I used green for the strings, and made most of the colors darker so that they contrast better with the pervasive light gray background throughout my site.
