There Is No Cat

Technical administrivia

I just made a couple of minor technical changes to the web site. First, I added a list of songs I’ve been playing in iTunes to the bottom of the right navigation bar. All hail Kung Tunes, the software that does this. I’m not sure I’ll keep it, but it’s there for the moment. Second is that I’ve changed the encoding of the page from Latin ISO 8859-1 to Unicode UTF-8. The addition of Kung Tunes is actually what provoked that. I discovered that if I play any of my songs by Russian artists, the song information gets mangled if I use 8859-1 for the page (not surprising, since Cyrillic characters aren’t part of 8859-1). I have not tested this thoroughly, so if you see any problems with the site as a result of this change, please let me know.
