What’s with the weird-looking comments on the older entries?
Long story short, I used to screw up this website to the point of near-complete non-usability quite often, most recently on July 12, 2009. After fixing it, I would have to restore my old posts. When doing so, I wanted to include the original comments, and found it much easier to copy the original comments from saved source files and paste them directly into the posts instead of re-entering them as individual comments. Thus, the pre-7/12/09 posts look strange and the formatting is not consistent from one post to the next.
