After many hours of wondering exactly what I was thinking when I wrote much of BLAT's code, this site's engine has gained several new features. None of which you can actually see without logging in. Which you can't do.

While this might sound like the most pointless use of time ever (remember: I am on holiday), it isn't. I'm going to remaining frustratingly cryptic about it all for now, but you should see some interesting things here soon (none of which will have anything to do with whale blubber, I assure you).

In related news, I have discovered that the best way to feel cooler on a hot and humid day is to sit in the very hottest room in the house, next to a toasty computer for a few hours. Sit there, without eating of drinking and type and swear until you're sitting in a puddle of your own sweat (vinyl chairs are not a good idea, people). When one eventually returns to the other rooms of the house, it's quite refreshing.
