Over the past few days, I was sick with some manner of cold. It wasn't anything too serious—mostly just lethargy and a low-grade fever—and I'm largely recovered by now, if not all better by the time you're reading this, heheh.

In terms of webdev, I've started fleshing out the Links page, copying over most of the links and website buttons from the old version of Signal Tower. If you're one of my lovely friends and you're not yet on the Links page, please let me know and I'll correct that, doubly so if you're already linking back to me, heheheh~

Meanwhile, the state of affairs here in the States has become yet more grim, the spread of definite wrongness continuing its acceleration as has become the norm. I'll hear no argument against it: Any government using its power to inflict senseless cruelty and terror upon any part of the population it's meant to guide and serve is undeniably definite wrongness, and the very notion of it should bring shame to all of us as the inheritors of the Western tradition. I won't delve any further into the specifics now, since it's very late in the evening when I'm writing this, but it's deeply troubling, to say the least.

As ever, many dimensions of the worsening situation remain beyond my control, but what I have done is set up a recurring monthly donation to the Trans Continental Pipeline to help them in response to the huge spike in demand and traffic they're no doubt struggling with. If you can afford to do so, I encourage you to do likewise.

After much copying of old content, adding in newer works and commentary, and poring over MDN docs to get the CSS styling just right, I'm pleased to announce that Signal Tower version 2.0 is now ready for public release!

To be sure, there's still a ton of other stuff I've yet to add—the current lack of any music or external links to my friends' websites is especially glaring. I'd also love to have a page showcasing all of the fanart I've gotten for my work over the years, just like the fanart page on my friend Nadia's website (NSFW). There's enough here now, however, to where I'm comfortable launching it, heheheh~

Also, there's an RSS feed now—there's a link to it on the footer at the bottom of every page—so you can get updated in real time as I publish more pages here! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy your stay here, and that you appreciate all of the new content here that never ended up getting uploaded onto my old website~

One last thing: Huge shout out to my my talented friend Kate Bagenzo for making the Strawberry Starter template I used to make this website! Using her template to build this page has been a hundred times easier than my old approach of manually editing static HTML pages every time I wanted to add or update anything, heheh.
