Then I realized that your website tracks your work from 1991 on, which makes any role we had together something like a "prequel." Or a "forward." Or a lame "prologue." Anyway, you know what I mean. You still are one of the most clever writers I know, and when I read your work it sounds like you speaking to me, like the Matt I know. Keep up the good work! - Harv Matt, I like your website in general, although I was disappointed at first when I did a Search for “newcomb” that resulted in nothing.

Hi Jeff: I like Movable Type just fine. It's a bit more of a learning curve than Blogger, but it forced me to finally crack CSS a bit. I recommend it. This entire site is actually set up in Movable Type, including the static pages. That means I can make changes to them through my web browser and people can search those pages via the search function on the front page. I like the built-in "Notifications by E-mail" function too, as I can use it as a broadcast-only mailing list when I post important bits to the site. Thanks, Michelle!

I've been thinking about side-grading jefftidball.com from the current SSI'ed Blogger Frankenstein that it is, but I can't decide between the various software packages I've been reading about.

Just reading about your current projects made me feel tired. Then I got to the FAQ where you talk about writing a thousand words an hour, and I felt even more tired. (A thousand words is a good day's work for me.) At the bottom of the FAQ I learned that you have five kids -- and then I felt exhausted! Clearly I'll have to build up my stores of energy just to visit your site each Wednesday. Great start, Matt! Just reading about your current projects made me feel tired.
