I am happy to announce we have just released AIM Express 7.0 to beta! It’s a web-based IM client which is going to replace the current experience on aimexpress.com. This version is flash based and utilizes the wimas3 libraries I mentioned earlier. There is no installation required, so check it out on the beta site and and be sure to leave your feedback!
You know the rest. I searched far and wide for a theme I liked. I couldn’t find one. So I took little bits from themes I liked, mixed it with my own ideas and the result is what you see here. It has a few rough edges but I am going to leave it up in hopes to get some feedback. Unless I find something catastrophically wrong with it and then I will switch back to another theme temporarily.
Right now there is only one photo in the header but I am hoping to come up with a scheme to allow me to rotate photos and maybe even rotate color schemes to match. We’ll see.
In case you are wondering, the current header image was taken by yours truly while I was in Hong Kong this winter.
My site now has a favicon! But it’s only working in Firefox for some reason. For IE users this is what it looks like:
I got my inspiration from various icons here.
followup: It seems like it’s working in IE after all. Probably just a cache issue on my laptop. And hey thanks for the comment riz. You are officially the first comment on my blog. Be proud. 
Ick. Looks like smilies are next on the list.
