My blog gets very little traffic.  Actually, about 60% of it is people searching for the word “lolrus”, coming here, and being quickly disappointed then leaving right away.  I’ve been using awstats for a long time now, and recently just tried Google Analytics.  Google Analytics is soooo much more intuitive to use than awstats.  It also seems to have less noise in the data.  For example, /wp-admin is shown as one of the top things visited in awstats.  I don’t really care how many times I visit /wp-admin.  Google Analytics filters that out.  It’s interface is pretty slick too.

Aside from that, the job hunt continues.  Have a phone interview tomorrow.  I’m hoping to find a job before spring quarter starts so I can concentrate on my studies and finish on a good note.  It’s going to be a rough quarter.  I’m pretty psyched though because I’m probably doing an independent study implementing the iCAM image appearance model in Quartz Composer.

So I’ve been working on a new layout for my blog, using PNGs and divs and such. Everything was going along nice and well, until I tried viewing the page in Safari . Bamf, all my colors were off.

I think the web needs a replacement for PNGs, or at least PNGs with embedded color profiles.

My monitor is calibrated and everything.

Take a look:

This isn’t really a problem with either browser per se, but just an issue with color management in general. I think I will have to stick to jpegs for this because you can embed an ICC profile in them.

Updates to come with solutions.

[edit]
Apparently, it has a third appearance in IE. So, it seems like the answers are headed towards PNGs are broken. It might be time for a new image format that contains an alpha channel.
