There’s this flux about me lately, and I’m not particularly sure where it is coming from either. So, instead of not writing, which is almost not conceivable, there’s a preponderance of these strange single line entries consisting of a random string of letters and numbers.

I suppose I’m just no longer comfortable with raw emotion being available to view by just anyone that happened by or puts a search string into google for that matter. Plus it goes back to not wanting my journal to be the primary source of information about how I feel about certain people — it’s a responsibility to directly tell someone just how incredibly unhappy I am with them, or inversely, how happy I am with them.

It’ll pass, as it always does, once the confusion clears.

Anyway, so yes, this is version 12. Nevermind the halfassed thing I had up yesterday. I’ve not yet looked at it in windows, but Safari and Mozilla render it just fine. Mac IE does some sort of weird font size craziness with the brainfeed box, so it sort of bursts out of the boundary when there is PLENTY of room, but whatever. Anyway, the key idea here is if it doesn’t look right in your browser, then your browser is busted. The screenshot of it in winIE looks just fine though, so all good. The mac problem is a css bug in the browser that I’m not in the mood to work around at the moment.

As always, haha, I coded this with pico through SSH. The images were modified using Gimp and uploaded through SCP. The code is xhtml compliant, with the obvious exception of the guestbook, simply because it’s such a mess to begin with.

I’ve been in a drought of inspiration. I do realize that it’s probably a heavy mix of my life’s circumstances and how they’ve made me feel over the past few months… so perhaps I’ll just call this 11b? What I’m working on… since I am just sick of the blackness… it’s all too symbolic. I haven’t bothered to even look at it in anything other than Mozilla… I’m coding to standards, so a standards compliant browser should see everything properly… which means Internet Explorer will most likely fuck it up. Of course, since I agonized over placement, and I changed few things, it ought to look right anyway. A triumph of coding, haha, using nothing but pico.

I am promising to myself that I’ll create something a bit more… err, well, less of a copy of my previous stuff… eventually.

I finally got the brainfeed on the lower left of the page working again. I was just having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to get php cli working with the newer versions of php, but that’s finally resolved, yay!

Update: I also have my currently playing song and random quote working again… finally!

DaVe calls it 10.5, the whore! :-D Since his site was at version 11, well, I had to compete with him… so now this is at version 11 too, mwahaha. It’s quick, just because I was getting sick of red, and wanted to do something… anything… and, well… I don’t know.

The drawing in the corner was done in Painter 7 using my nifty little wacom drawing tablet, yay me… it’s supposed to look crappy, that’s the idea, right?
