Yup, I have done it again.
I put up an all new style for this weblog right before I went to bed.
Well, an all new style sheet, that is.
The design didn't actually change that much.
Can I even say design?
I think the styles of this weblog are more and more CSS tests than anything else.
I also added an automated blo.gs thingy, that shows some of my favorite sites, and when they were last updated.
The technique might not be pretty (JavaScript document.write), but I like the result.
After my little update, I was preparing things to go to bed (it was around 6:30 AM by then). During these processes, certain things about the future of my personal website started to become clear to me. I grabbed my dummy book, and started writing and sketching (workaholic, anyone?). I think I have some great ideas about the title, domain, content, technologies, style, etc.
One big drawback —and huge annoyance— is that the two domain names that I want/need have already been taken. I knew of the first for some time, and just discovered the second one I thought of has been taken also. What is really sad about it is that both domains are not the primary domains of their respective owners. One is just a page that tells you that they have a new name and a new domain (ugh!), and the other one functions as a mirror for people that can't type three characters in the proper order (argh!). I think I'll contact the owners sooner or later, but I doubt they will be letting the domains go for anything less than a fortune.
Before I started writing my new style sheet, I dropped Bert Bos an email yesterday.
I found some errors on the CSS: fonts example page.
In the Font families, where the label says Arial
it's actually showing the Helvetica, and where it says Helvetica
it's actually showing the Verdana.
First, I thought I was tripping out of my mind, but when I checked the source, I saw I was right. ;-)
I felt like complete shit yesterday. My head felt like it was going to explode, I was couching up things that looked like they could raise a family, and I experienced several anxiety attacks. I feel tons better today... I don't get it.
