I know I just said that I wouldn't be making updates to the site, but it's a Saturday and I have time. There were a few minor details I wanted to fix to improve the site, like always. Here's an overview:

• FontAwesome Icons I've replaced some of the minor images to FontAwesome icons. As I've mentioned earlier, it's pretty amazing: it's clean, it's versatile, and it acts like dynamic, style-able regular text.
• Improved Post Listing I've added the date and author of the posts for clarity in the About section.
• Fixed Dark Gradients In Safari (for iOS), the gradients from transparent to white were too dark. This has been fixed.
• Stopped Syntax Highlighting I felt that the extra time spent loading the scripts for syntax highlighting were unnecessary, even despite its awesomeness. I figured you all don't care about code that much anyways. In addition, there haven't been many posts with code (only two)— the code will still be formatted with indenting monospaced text, but it will not be colored anymore.

Also, this is the fiftieth post! I'm surprised I survived this far!
