I’d hoped to write something of substance today, something considering the impact that the Supreme Court’s Monday half-decision on affirmative action will have on higher education, or perhaps another bit of reportage from the Amsterdam/Prague trip.  Or maybe something looking forward to the new projects I’m actually beginning this summer.

Instead, I am tinkering with the site.  And tinkering is something I should really not be allowed to do, as we can see from past experience.  (I’d intended to link to a second bit of stupidity there, but apparently I wisely chose not to broadcast it.  Surprising to find myself showing discretion.)

Anyhoo, here’s the newest bit of idiocy:  In attempting to install Dean Allen’s Refer, I’ve been playing with the .htaccess file.  Suddenly, my top-level directory page (which is just a redirect to this page) is downloading instead of opening. [UPDATE:  Fixed.]

Seriously, try it:  http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/.  The index page is index.php, and I’ve got a line in my .htaccess that reads “DirectoryIndex index.php”—so what gives?

Any insights would be most welcome.  And hopefully I can get to that substantive writing soon.
