Died in a blogging accident.

So… XKCD has made a pretty big GoogleBomb with it’s latest comic. Going from 2 to over 21,000 hits on Google in the space of a day or two is pretty damned impressive.

I figured I’d add one more to the list… ;)

IE + CSS = spaz

I’ve gotta say, working with IE6 and IE7 makes webcoding such a pain in the ass. I took my theme and started editing it in Opera, and got everything looking all nice and pretty. When I load up the site in Firefox, it looks pretty much the same as the Opera rendering. I fire up IE7… and bam! The bottom of the page is messed up. The footer isn’t touching the bottom of the container (there’s a gap between it and the border), and there should be a 10px gap between the border and the bottom of the page.

*grumble*

New blog theme

So… I was bored one night and decided to edit the theme I’m using for this site. The theme is actually a little closer to home for me, since I like most of my computer-related things black or grayscale.

Let me know what you all think! I definitely don’t think that it’s quite done yet, but it’s closer to my liking!

Server Move!

So… I was a little fed up with how much downtime and slowness there was on my old hosting, so I decided to move. If you see this post, then it means that the site is now hosted by HostingPlex. It’s cheaper, faster, and a little easier for me to use. Their support is also much better than anything I got with DreamHost, so you should soon be seeing my referral links from DreamHost go down in a bit.

Anyways – just thought I’d let you all know. :)

Thank you!

I checked my email this morning to be pleasantly surprised… Someone had donated $10 towards this site. I’ll admit I haven’t been here very much in the past month (it’s been a busy month), but I’ll try to keep updating things as I go.

To the donator (you know who you are) – a big thank you!
