From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned.

Uh oh. To teh portals to check up on the campaign's page!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's now also completely borked on both Chrome and Dolphin on iOS.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of the right-side column, except in the dashboard (which I admit to liking a lot). I actually hate the new tiny content panes. It's much more difficult to parse information.
Theoretically, I like it better than the original, which was clunky as hell. This is nicer, but still needs some work.
ReplyDeleteI still prefer wikidot. With near total control over the CSS, I can do pretty much anything I want.
ReplyDeleteLooks like there's a lot of fallout on their support discussion page.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure a lot of it is the same kind of complaining that happens every time any website changes. Everyone gets used to it eventually. And I got like two years worth of membership for the price of one when I backed the kickstarter. So I'm not going to get upset. I just want the center text frame to be bigger. Or dynamic based on your screen. Or whatever. I'm not a technical dude.
ReplyDeleteThere are legitimate complaints, this time. Lots of power users have heavy custom CSS in their pages, which the site previously supported. This morning, all of those pages are basically unusable.
ReplyDeleteAh. So my non-web savviness has served me well.
ReplyDeleteYeah, same here. I don't really deal with CSS that often, so never bothered, thus I am not faced with that particular problem.
ReplyDeleteOn the whole I really do like the Dashboard feature. It's tight.
Dashboard does look sweet.
ReplyDeleteA wider center column would be nice, yeah. Tweaked with some embedded images I had.
ReplyDeleteAlright, how do I delete a map now?
