Can you tell? I’ve been fighting between keeping this thing semi anonymous as far as throwing actual names out there but I’m realizing that it really doesn’t matter at this point. I’m just going to keep at it the way I have been, and if some things happen, then they happen and I’ll deal with them later.
I will say that I love the guys over at WooThemes for their brilliant templates. There’s a lot to mess around with on the backend, but it’s getting to a point that I like the way it’s starting to look, and it definitely is faster than me trying to open a code window and blow things up on a regular basis. Everyone is happy this way, I don’t make my husband cry and I don’t pull my hair out and kick the kid.
The weather here is crap, so off to make tea and poke around in here some more. If you see something that doesn’t look to be working, let me know. (don’t mention the featured vid thing…I know :b)
I decided I want to change things around here, it’s a slow process but it’s going to get underway this week. I’m shifting some stuff on the back end now, and relocating the galleries to flikr. I’ve got a few bits to get sorted out, but I found some brilliant templates so I don’t have to be that creative on my own.
I’ve been debating getting back into making them myself, it was something I did for quite a while back in the day, but the annoyance of trying to get all working the way I want was and still is a pain in the arse. I may have a go at it, I’m not sure just yet, but I do know that I’m going to drop the red and pick up something else in the next few days.
With the pending stuff that I’m not going to talk about today, I decided last night to reinstall Diablo II on my desktop. It took some proding to get it working under Ubuntu, but there are some awesome guys over in their gaming forums that have figured out all the hard bits. I had forgotten how much fun it is to run around and bash the crap out of tons of little baddies.
I love the fact that as old as the game is, that the playability is still there, it’s one of the reasons I love Blizzard games so much. I will say that playing in an 800×600 window is a bit silly when using a widescreen monitor, but it didn’t take long to get used to it.
There’s also a nagging voice in the back of my head that wants to redesign some things around here. I’ve been looking around at other sites and have gotten some ideas, but if I do this, I want to make a point of creating something from scratch this time around. Oh god, she’s going to code things!!!! The internet may not survive.
