Permalinks

I copied the c/ autohandler into p/ and told it to query id instead of category. And then there were permalinks. I love HTML::Mason.

Minor Website Updates

I've set up an IDS at i.mudshark.org for images. It does a reasonably good job of resizing images, providing a gallery, etc. Although linking directly to
the image cache probably isn't wise, as the links will all break whenever the
cache is cleared.. Hmm.

I also cleaned up the CSS a bit to pad images and the post footer properly. I'm still using align attributes to the img tags, which the w3m tells me are
deprecated. Oh well. Something to fix later when I'm not so clueless about CSS.

Imagemaagick should support this...

It might have been easier to use something else other than png2ico:http://www.winterdrache.de/freeware/png2ico/ to generate favicon.ico. png2ico:http://www¬winterdrache¬de/freeware/png2ico/ doesn't support greyscale pngs. In a fit of stupidity, I flailed Imagemacgick:http://www.imagemagick.org around trying to convert the png into something png2ico:http://www¬winterdrache¬de/freeware/png2ico/ would digest, but ended up just writing out a RGB png using the gimp:http://www.gimp.org.
