First and foremost, Steve Klassen, Oz without the cheap tricks, the man behind the curtain when the man behind the curtain actually knows what he’s doing. Steve’s thunder is not electronically amplified and his lightning will actually kill you. He’s responsible for the the initial software install and preliminary taming, a role he’s reprised many times at my request.

Jason Tucker, for meeting the CSS in a dark alley with a baseball bat and emerging the victor. Tucker’s the designer I would have been if I’d had the stomach to learn programming, and he attacked a task I was dreading with genuine enthusiasm. It was like “Dude! Big bowl of glass? Let me get my spoon!”

Finally, Jonathan Daugherty, for giving the CSS the last powerful shove it needed to align itself to my picayune preferences. Six pixels of whitespace were yawning like a chasm in my detail-obsessed imagination, and Jonathan generated enough code to fill in the abyss.

Gentlemen, I’m indebted to you all.

Preamble over. Posting to start in earnest very shortly.
