What better way to celebrate the new year, the completion of (semi-successful but ill-fated) porting the blog to a new host and a new version of Movable Type, and the LIXth (59th) installment of SF Tidbits than with an entry that's sure to raise our LIX Score by collecting all the bits that we missed while the site was down for maintenance? Unfortunately, as of this posting, the Lix Score site is down. (Insert heavy sigh)

Anyway, enjoy!
