Af­ter many years, this is the first rad­i­cal change of look.

It's not very nice, be­cause my HTML skil­lz sux0rz, but hey, it's dark­er!

There are many lit­tle things wrong (like the col­or of vis­it­ed links) but I like it.

It's al­so a bit sim­pler, and I did the ban­ner us­ing inkscape (I had it done much nicer us­ing Kar­bon, but then I could­n't fig­ure out how to do the gra­di­en­t. Oh, well).

Up­date1: It looks in­cred­i­bly aw­ful on IE6, from the un­trans­par­ente PNG to the un­sup­port­ed over­flow:au­to I think I caught ev­ery damn thing that does­n't work :-)

Update2: Both IE and Konqueror will not use overflow: auto if the object is inside a table. In a blog that posts code and logs, and so on, that's a big problem.

So, to make this kin­da work, I had to get rid of (al­most) all ta­bles.

It looks ok now, ex­cept on IE the side­bar is at the bot­tom right, which is prob­a­bly be­cause it cal­cu­lates el­e­ment widths dif­fer­ent­ly.
