Social Networking Experiments Concluded.

Well, after a trial period of tying social networking to this web site, I've decided to end the experiment and remove all of that. I'd like to thank the few people that joined the "friend connect" system, but it was causing some problems with the site loading and the layout, therefore not really adding anything to the site experience. This was also the case with the digg, etc. buttons so I decided to remove them as well (no one was using these, either).

Last of all, I got rid of my Twitter account because it was becoming a distraction and importing the feed on this site was causing a major slowdown in page load times.

So... the site has been simplified and so have my online habits. If you followed me on Twitter, the RSS feed is always available. I'll still go out and read peoples' Twitter accounts, too. Some of you have really good updates.
