For the uninitiated, web syndication in this context refers to the retrieval of my posts via the RSS feeds you see. If you don’t exactly know what is it still (you should have a rough idea at least), you ought to go and learn more about modern web technologies. In brief, web feeds allow you to download news articles; blog posts; site updates etc. into a feed reader, like Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, Google Feed Reader or the like. And it just gives you the pure content, nothing else. No distractions from flashy ads and screwed-up page layouts (usually). Thus in one solution you get your articles stored and sorted out according to their origin site (instead of newsletters which you must manually sort into mail folders); email privacy and ease of management and distraction-free reading.
To all who understood that, or the rest who already know what I’m talking about, or use it even (on my blog or not), this lamentation’s dedicated to you.

Some changes, mostly technical, but one key change.
Okay, Wordpress 2.7 has just been released recently and The Staccato Slur’s just updated to it. The most immediate observable change seems to be the admin panel; the bluish-white “playful” colour scheme has made way to a more refined, classy greyish one, with the fonts used changed as well to contribute to a final user experience which feels quite… Elegant.
