After loads of tinkering, metric tones of splash pages, and two versions before it, airfrost v2 is finally here! I’ll spare you the pages of details about what went into version 2, and how this site works, but if you really must know, it was brought to you by a bit of PHP, hosting by a very generous Chad, a brilliant thing called Symphony, XSLT, XML, XHTML, CSS, JS, and Photoshop. (Sadly no ruby or ruby on rails involved…) If you’re not falling asleep yet, this will fix your insomnia.
A good way of seeing what is to come with airfrost is by going to the categories page–in which you can bask in the glory of a nice hearty list of all the empty categories that I haven’t posted to yet. A good way of getting your questions answered around here is by either commenting on any of the entries, or by sending me an email. I hope you enjoy taking a few seconds of your life soaking in the few months of my life that went into this site. If you like what you see, I suggest you invest in my ramblings by subscribing to my rss feed, which is soon to be filled with all sorts of sweet stuff.

This site looks great, River. Congratulations!
Is it just me, though, or is scrolling a tad sluggish?

This looks amazing. Could you come on my live podcast, Blastr (http://blastr.tv) and talk about all of this, it looks amazing. I've already said it twice but it looks real good.

The site looks excellent! Great work! I love it! Keep up the great work!
Oh, and the hosting? Consider it a thank you for all the help you've given me over the last seven or so months. :)

Amazing design. You showed me the original mockup, I loved it, this is even better! I need to inherit your design skill!

Congratulations on the new site River. It looks very nice ;)

Great work River! I love the look of the new site. Congrats!
Oh, and sorry to burst your bubble, but there's a couple broken links in the first paragraph of your post. ;)

Hey, thanks everyone!
@Ben Firefox does a pretty crap job of rendering position: fixed;, so I think that's why it's a bit sluggish for you.
@NichM Thanks for the offer! I'll try to be on this Saturday. :)
@Chad Ohman & @Alex & @David Thanks. :)
@Leo Fixed—thanks for taking the time to actually click on them! ;)

Congrats River! Great work on the design. Early today when I heard about your site launch I came and got distracted by all of it, and forgot to comment ;) Haha, nice work!
