Those of you who actually visit this site rather than using the futuristic Web 2.0 article feed mashup facilities to read it will by now have noticed I am sporting a new theme in this season's hottest colours. I name it fooced, which should be pronounced with a hard c. The name is in honour of my ex-colleagues' habit of giving a network device under test the MAC address consisting of their manufacturer ID followed by :f0:0c:ed, to make sure it is not mistaken for a fully working device and shipped to an unsuspecting customer.

The HTML is identical with what it used to be: the only change is to the CSS that gives it its visual appearance. It doesn't even use any images, which is rare these days. I've had to do some quite funky things to bend the CSS box model to my will, so I'd be grateful to hear about any glitches in the output. In fact, I'd like to hear any comments about it, though I'll be slightly less pleased to receive rude or unhelpful ones. Post them as comments to this article, or email me directly: statisticdotorg, with the two obvious substitutions.

I might tinker with the theme a bit as it settles in over the next week or so, and then I'll be sending it upstream. Hopefully Jon Rockway will include it in a future CPAN release of Angerwhale. I have some other outstanding patches to send him, too.
