Obiter Dictum

Things have finally settled down enough where I can start reviewing again. I apologize for the unnanounced hiatus - 2008 has not been good to me. I’ve had several deaths in the family and other changes that have disrupted my online life. This is a project I do not intend to close, however.

Thanks for the patience, a few waiting reviews will be posted soon.

I’ve also updated the queue. If your site was down or “couldn’t be found,” I deleted it; if you’re currently using a template for your layout, I switched you to a content-only review, and if you submitted for re-review and don’t have a link back here, I deleted you all together (as per the rules). If you notice any problems with the pending page, please let me know.

I’ve had this theme layout for a few weeks now, and I just wanted to let you know that I am working on a new layout for the site. I got too sick of the other one to keep it up a moment longer! In any case, this is part of what is delaying my reviews (this layout as well as the layout at my domain which I recently completed and have still been tweaking), but I’m getting back into the swing of things.

I also wanted to tell everyone who cares that I have a lot of fun reviewing sites - good and bad ones. Never fear, I won’t be one of those people who close the review site because of one negative response to one of my reviews, or because I just “didn’t feel like it” anymore. Though my posts are far between, no one in the queue will be left unreviewed.

I may not be the most excellent web designer in the world, and I may not always be right, but I have a pretty good idea for aesthetics and language, and that’s what I base my reviews on. No review will be half-assed and all will be completed in time.

You may now return to whatever you were doing before you decided to click the link that led you to this website!

Just wanted to leave a note that I’m starting the next review (un-ordinary.net) now that all the holiday fuss is finally over. :) I have a new laptop to work on so I’ve also changed my specifics on the about page.

This isn’t because I’m sick of reviewing, I promise. It’s because this is going to be a busy holiday season. I plan on continuing to complete reviews at the rate I have (a few per month); however, I don’t believe I will have time during the season.

Thus, I’m sorry to say that I won’t be able to complete any reviews again until after the new year. You may still submit and I will add you to the queue.

See you in 2008!

More submissions have come in and I’ve added them to the queue. Now that Nanowrimo is done I’m finally starting the first review. Expect it soon!
