i love this website, LOVE it! but this childish countdown thing... not so much. Maxwell, have you thought that maybe when the countdown is done and 'whatever' is announced, no one will think it was worth the teasing?
Is this what internet bullying is like?

Please drop the countdown thing, it's really tacky.

Don't listen to the naysayers! I like the countdown thing, it's making me excited for whatever's going to happen at the end. Although I do wish I knew WHEN the end was going to be! I like that you've infused my week with a little bit of anticipation :)

Aw, it's cute. I bet they've been working really hard so why shouldn't they be excited?

Its there blog. When you get a blog of your own, you can decide to do a countdown or not. Until then... ;)

Actually, if we didn't do the countdown thing, our tech team might think that this latest (of many) deadlines was movable...

Oh, thank goodness. I'm so pleased it's going to be a redesign. Can't wait to see the result!

Thanks for the smile...I love countdowns! The ball dropping, the space shuttle, (geez, I almost said rockets) a race...I don't think I associate a countdown with anything bad, come to think about it, it's always good!

What a relief, cat. I thought the triple click thing was just me.

It's been driving me nuts for weeks now, nazrd. I think I've probably spent 1/5 of my normal AT-surfing time since it started. I just don't have the patience for it.

cat, from what I can tell it is related to the google ads associated with the page. I have that problem when I am at work but not at home.

hmmmm, maybe the triple clicking is related to using Microsoft internet explorer vs. using Mozilla firefox....

It is an IE issue, Signe.

I know it's an IE issue, but I am not willing to switch my whole browser so that I can use one website. So I visit much less. Oh well. Hopefully this new improvement will resolve the issue. If not, I suspect my AT use will continue to dwindle down even further over time...

The countdown fills me with childish excitement.

I don't think it's got to do with a revised website, but I don't know what it is.

The triple click is also driving me nuts. Nothing on my computer that has IE has changed (no problem on the Mac), so it must be something to do with AT's system that has changed. Someone recently made a comment about what they thought it was that sounded reasonable, but I can't remember what.

Doesn't this site run on Movable Type? I bet it's a site upgrade based on this...
