You must be a character Kevin. We'll have to meet some time in
person...  I actually like the way you think.  Both of you.

Actually I think it was just that <em> that got in my favicon link.
That was caused by some problems in the recent reworking of the
snippets code and the fact I had a different configuration online than
off.  Most people use ../ for their system paths, I had to use a hard
path with :// to get my images to work. And I broke one of the markup
rules that should have caught this. Evidently that problem completely
threw my server out--crashing everything and generating no error
messages. I need to remember that. I think it is what happened the
last time. Just as frustrating then as now.

I guess I'm just in too much of a rush. Our development is pretty fast
here at BoltWire, but a bit bumpy at the same time. My solution is to
often wait a few days if the release is at all experimental to see if
anyone complains about anything, and then I upgrade my own site. So
sometimes BoltWire is ahead, sometimes behind the current release.

But I feel good enough about how things are running now, I think I'll
go back to bed. I've been up trying to fix this since about 3:00 am.

Cheers,
Dan
