Greetings from Hurricane Ridge!

Why hello! Nice to see you!

Viv and I took the ferry to Bremerton and drove north and then east to Sequim bay, where we camped in the lovely (but not spectacular) Sequim Bay State Park. Then the next day we drove up the road a few miles to the Port Angeles entrance to Olympic National Park, and drove up to Hurricane Ridge for a pic-a-nic.

There were some highly aggressive chipmunks, who, I’m happy to say, got nothing (and liked it, natch).

Such as this one.

You can page through all the pix here.

…and more tweaky goodness…

Ohhh kay. Insomnia drove me to pound on the sidebar build problem, which I may summarize as build once, use many, in order to speed build times.

My ideal solution would be to include an MT perl-generated file into the pages at build time, but MT does not allow the user to easily set build order. Furthermore it does not offer an inbuilt file-include tag since include functionality is so easy to get via SSI and PHP. It’s not a deal-breaker.

THEREFORE, experimentally, this site is now served with SSI and server-parsed html. The old html pages will remain in place. However, their links will rot after a while, I imagine, until I can do some fancy Apache stuff to transform incoming *.html reqs into *.html reqs.

Jimmy James whould know what to say here: Guzizah! (hmmm, must search for WWJJD…)
