I'd like to announce that the Grex auction is still going on, and still
accepting donations. I think I've hit on a good category of object that
many people have in their homes and may want to donate to the auction:
things-people-gave-you-that-seemed-neat-at-the-time-but-you-never-use.
If you have such things, or anything else to donate, send mail to "auction",
and we'll put it in. All proceeds from the auction go to benefit Grex, so
all donations to it are tax-deductible.

I've installed Backtalk version 1.0.0 on Grex.
The differences between this and the previous version 0.9.10 are huge,
but they mainly have to do with being able to install it with just a few
commands, and being more portable to other versions of Unix. Lots of
Backtalk's guts got rearranged to make this possible. Users aren't
going to notice any of this unless I introduced some new bugs will doing
it.
Backtalk also has gained some new features that are disabled on Grex so
you won't notice them here. (Ability to edit your past responses for
example - actually a really bad feature to have, but some of my other
clients wanted it.)
I fixed several minor bugs that nobody ever noticed.
And one actual new feature: There is now twit filter code. On the
entrance page, follow the 'edit your personal settings' link and find
a button that says 'edit list of users to ignore'. I actually
implemented this more than a year ago, and never installed it on Grex.
I'd quite forgotten I had done so until I found the code in there while
fixing some other stuff.

The only change I have noticed between backtalk versions is that the
default colour is now a pleasant green instead of the light yellow it
had been. I find this more readable, for now at least.

Oops. Actually, I forgot to change that. I picked this shade of green
long ago when I was still putting the color definitions in each page,
and wanted a hexidecimal color code I could remember. I started out
with "C0FFEE" but that was too ugly, so I adjusted it to "C0FFE0".
Steve Weiss named the interface "pistachio" because of the color. A few
years ago I reset the default color on Grex to yellow because lots of
people hated the green. Unless everyone has changed their minds, I'll
bring the yellow back.

I prefer the yellow.

Yellow would be my preference as well, but the green does have a certain
spring-like quality...

I would like to announce that on GREX we no longer say 'shitdicks',
we say 'pooppy weinner'.

Maybe if I give Backtalk a sufficiently ugly default color, more
fairwitnesses will be inspired to set their own color colors.
