Maija has revived her blog over at jennyhaniver.com and is posting at a head-spinning rate.

I’ve recently been recording music at home. As a somewhat coherent sound develops, a few songs that I recorded during the past few years seem out of place. So I decided to remix them and “release” them here as Squid In Squid Ink’s debut single. The style is somewhere between my last band, Syntax Error, and what I’m doing now.

I also updated the site design slightly. Will this be 2009′s only post? Who can say.

After a long hiatus, I’ve been pressured to update this blog again. What better way to start than by redirecting to other blogs?

First, my sister is now documenting the exploits of her daughters.

Second, my friends and former bandmates, Jason and Ann Rerun started their own blog and also contribute to one featuring rare punk MP3s.

Third, my friend and former bandmate Andy Malkus is attempting to post a new song demo every week. I hope to contribute to some of those.

Hope those keep you few readers busy for awhile!

I was recently hired by closerlook. This inspired me to touch up the blog, which so far has involved a new Art Deco color scheme and integration of sIFR for Flash-based custom fonts in the titles. The cool thing about sIFR’s method is that the XHTML still validates.

Which brings me to another change – getting rid of bad Blogger code. I spent a lot of time getting my page to be nice and XHTML Strict only to be undone by Blogger’s refusal to simply use & instead of & in their embedded comment and edit code. So, I had to drop the Quick Editing feature and manually rewrite the Blogger-created links in the template. Unfortunately, there’s one issue I can’t fix – when someone enters a line break in a comment, Blogger inserts <BR /> instead of <br />.

I have other flashier updates in the queue, too, that are sure to impress the one or two friends that visit this site every six months!
