I apologize for any inconvenience.

That may not be for a few days. I apologize for any excessive quacking. I’ve temporarily disabled the duck and his pal shatner until I can figure out why they aren’t cleaning up properly anymore.

People with slow connections would probably notice the biggest change.

Hooray! It's embarrassing to admit how much time I spent retyping all the text with a different font to match the header I had back then (one of these days I'm going to get that header right), and fiddling with the color palette to make the result load faster.

The effect on your viewing experience should be only positive, but if you get any odd failures or if things don't look right, I'd appreciate it if you'd drop me a line.
