Team Pill has been hard at work on a new look and/or feel. After 48 months of development, we have finally launched the new design. I'd like to take a moment to thank the team for all their hard work.

Andrea, you put your heart into this project. I can only offer my thanx, in lue of pay.

Philip, your emotional and financial support helped make this project a reality. I am happy to call you friend, even if I barely know and mostly dislike you.

Rueben, You lost your leg when rendering HTML on an old Mac IIci. Sure, your performance suffered greatly after the accident, but we kept you on so not to get sued. Your diligent QA and tech support was barely completed in time.

Klaus, you quit in the last month, the home stretch, and for that I will never forgive you. This is the last time anyone on Team Pill will speak of you.

The development group in Building C, you did nothing, but we stole your soda and went through your stuff on many a late night, so thanx.

My ex wives and many children, your love and devotion has made me a richer man. This project would have never been possible if I didn't slack a bit in paying your alimony and child support, so thank you.

And finally, most thanks go to me, for whom without this project wouldn't have been possible. My vision and intelligence made it all come together. How can I thank me enough.

I'm not really a big fan of georgia for a font choice, but otherwise I like it. Looks good in ie 5 for OS X.

I'm happy to see that "pull" is still alive and well. It's how to keep this idiot busy...

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you (off-topic, but you didn't open comments on the latest post) re: Google and the mail API jar - that if you hadn't sold out to those Ivy league (don't be) evil bastards and stuck with the beneficient GPL peeps over at htdig (I know, not as sexy as Google (don't you love when people say "sexy" in regards to technology?), but so much better for individual site search! Do I have to remind you about ?? Do I?) you wouldn't have had those mail problems.

Instead now you have double-parenthetical I-told-you-so's getting emailed to you.

;)

That is, if your comments actually do get emailed to you! Har har!

By the way, I love my new htdig site search. :)

Gina: Your words cut like jagged shards of broken glass. I was indeed tempted by the dark side, and I was smitten.

Fantastic work on petalny.com, kudos to the developer who worked pro bono for two crazy soapmakers! Love from an anonymous fan and a dog named Greta. :)

I clearly remember the call of "Blood Lust" when the mole crossed over to the infinite other side. Sadly it was the best shot of the day. I am very happy to see your still expressing your pain with a healthy dose of mantequilla.

I am still an ignorant lemming. Keeps me happy.
