Lists of things.

snarp1) My hand is mostly better and I am working on a secret project. A Wiki and screenshots from Kyou Kara Maoh may be involved.
2) Licensed Hagio Moto stuff! Again my spoiled-powers modify the universe to correct for my failings - now I need not bother finishing the Iguana Daughter translation I keep ignoring. (I probably still need to get through Seireigari one of these days, though.)
3) This page is nice for translation-related things. You type in a Japanese or English word or short phrase, and it gives you sentences using it correctly. (I assume correctly? I have yet to spot any that look wrong to me, but then I am incompetent.)
4) (I might soon have a piece of paper formally stating that I am incompetent, if they ever send out the stupid JLPT scores.)
5) In case anyone was curious about the face cream's performance, it's fine. It's a little stiff and sticky, but it's very dense and keeps my face from peeling, and doesn't make me break out. This is what I was looking for.
(However, the seller may have decided not to restock it? Or else he just forgot to do so. It is still listed on the website, but it looks like the only way to order through there is via email. Also note that it seems he doesn't know how to resize images properly, because every single photo is HTML-resized and over 500 kb.)
6) Chris Pureka is the person whose music I play over and over and over right now.
6a) (Also, what the heck kind of CMS is CDBaby using and why do some of their URLs look hand-rolled? Is this a conversion relic from their old site? You can use the .htaccess file, guys! That's why we have those. (Edit: Why did I write "HOSTS file" at first? Because I'm going to block BoingBoing again.)
Not that which way you choose manage your URL continuity matters in the slightest to anyone. POSSIBLY I THINK A LOT ABOUT FORMATTING WHEN I AM NERVOUS. I might be considering redoing my expenditures spreadsheet's color-coding.)
7) Sardines-and-avocado-sandwiches are delicious. Also, even if I put my apple juice in a wine glass, it still doesn't go with the sardines and avocados.
8) I read a crapload of Count Cain and had anxiety dreams about pretty men doing things to my golden eyes, and not having health insurance.

A lot of it we were forced to grandfather in to the new system to avoid any interruptions in service to our customers and clients. We're definitely working to iron out the kinks though -- and this is one that we've been bumping up against more frequently lately, so it might be in the works. (I am NOT a programmer, and don't ACTUALLY know what I'm talking about.

My reflex when I'm doing something that's going to change a site's URL scheme is just to add a bunch of "Redirect"s to the .htaccess file and then make very sure they don't get overwritten. Basically just because I think that way's easiest, though! I don't think there's a perfect way to handle this, especially if you've got stuff going on in the back that's using the old URLs for something.
