Whats happening at HCT

Well its been a busy few weeks and I haven't had the chance to post on here as much as I would like. We have a new front page set up, with a new banner which I'm pretty happy about, ties the page together a little better:

Old Banner

I also have been working on the new style sheet that III has given us. I like the layout much better and have added a couple of effects that are nice and not too intrusive. For example on the bib page there are now reflections on all the images. I have also added a sliding bar for the librarything additions, cleans up the page I think. You can see that here:

Otherwise I have been doing the daily chores, fixing things that break, doing database renewals, so forth and so on. Ill be happier in a couple of days, though, when I'm on my six week vacation.
This is a bizarre article and one I'm not actually surprised about. I just love this line:
The decision to withdraw the advertisement came after right wing bloggers in the United States criticised the chain for supporting terrorism by dressing Ray in the scarf, which one blogger called “jihad chic”

Only in the US could a bunch of right wing bloggers dictate how a company advertises. I'm sure D&D is the biggest supporter of
terrorism ever.../sarcasm. I think its sad and pathetic that D&D pulled the article because a bunch of right wing "experts" on terrorism decided that they now support Palestine, but thats how things work in the US a small group who have nothing better to do cause a stink and companies immediately change their attitude.
