the definition of “suckage”
That would be, having to move to a day shift at job#1 because the husband is getting a “step up” and being moved into another branch of our department, and as such, needs to be trained. And training only happens during the day.
In order to continue to carpool, and to continue being able to see Josh on a regular basis (i.e. to avoid working nearly polar opposite shifts which would mean hardly ever seeing one another) that means I have to move to days as well.
“Bush by numbers…” (link to outside article)
Bush by numbers: Four years of double standards.
A good read.
Form your own opinions on it.. but me, it just reaffirms my decision to NOT vote for Bush.
Via Josh.
must.play.all.night…
It’s a good thing today was a holiday and the LYS was closed… Josh and I were up until 4 a.m. last night playing on the stress test beta for World of Warcraft. I’d do it again tonight, ‘cept I have to work tomorrow.
Normally I probably wouldn’t spend so much time in front of the computer on a game, but being the “stress test” part of the beta, it’s only open for a week, and then it’s going back to a closed beta… so we’re getting in as much play time as we can.
‘Cause who knows how long it will be until Blizzard finally does the open beta and then the actual release of the game… We’re hoping before the end of the year…
more progress…
The comments should now match each of their parent skins, and no longer have sidebars.
Yay!
I just created new variables in the cookiecheck file and gave the comments page its own set of headers & footers, and presto-chango!
I also cleaned up the CSS file for the dragon skin. In doing so, I also eliminated the stepping-stone pattern in the side bar, it’s just easier to keep it in a straight column.
I’ve only tested this in Netscape, so let me know if anything looks really funky.
It’s almost time to go home, and enjoy a real two-day weekend! (the LYS is closed on Monday)
Have a safe holiday!
pink is all fixed…
Yay!
Now I can work on other new skins.. Not that I have anything in mind yet. 😊
let the head-banging commence…
And I don’t mean partying. 😡
I’m trying to get my pink skin working, but for whatever reason, the skin on my main page isn’t putting the sidebar on the right like it should.
However, when I take the content in the header file, the index template, and the footer file, and slap them together in a test template… It renders just fine!!
WTF??
For some reason ‘pink’ is choking on one particular piece of css, because when I comment that tag out, it formats correctly (the layout), but without the “special” text formatting…
So, unless someone has a suggestion, I’ve printed out three different CSS files… the one for the first three styles (light, dark & blue), one for the “original” layout when I first implemented EE (because I noticed some tags being called up in the template that don’t have identifiers in my CSS), and the one for the “broken” pink layout. I figure if I try to make everything “common”, maybe I can get pink fixed without too much frustrtation. Or I could just go insane.
Feh. We’ll see how much cross-referencing I can take.
skinning is fun!
I did some more tweaking, and was able to add the Dragon skin into the rotation. 😊
Will also work on adding my pretty pink flower skin from MT into this, too.
Once I get the hang of this more, I’ll create an actual page where you can go to “try out” the skins rather than just having the drop down box…
eta: the comments in the dragon still isn’t matching yet… will work on that later.
ugh…
Between the headache centered behind my left eyeball and the monster pimple that planted itself in the tip of my poor nose, I’m just a ball o’pain tonight.
Is it creepy that I can feel my nose throbbing?
I keep wondering if an alien is going to burst out of it…
rudolph with your nose so bright…
I have one of those pimples. The ones that are deep under your skin, making it red & irritated, and are painful.
I hate those.
And I don’t wear makeup, so the red spot is in plain sight. Grrr. 😠
the Prismatic Dragon’s blog… now with skinning! (sorta)
Well, so far it looks like it is working. It may be a touch slow, as I had to add some php to make cookies stick, but I wasn’t sure where to put it in my template… so I have it set above the HTML, HEAD & BODY tags. It probably doesn’t belong in that spot, but I didn’t know where else to place it.
Anyway.. now I need to change the templates for my categories & archives, and comments.
Carry on.
