  • Prototypical Journal Entry #823-B

    Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah, blah?

    Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

    Blah blah blah. Blah, blah blah blah blah blah.

  • A whirled of possibilities

    Every now and then someone decides to really take an idea and run with it, just to show how it can be done. In this case, Daily CSS Fun is a project devoted to showcasing how really, really good layout can be achieved entirely through Cascading Style Sheets manipulation. More to the point, how the exact same HTML document can be displayed in a dizzying variety of ways simply by modifying the linked stylesheet.

    I know how I’m spending my February allotment of geekery: ripping apart this guy’s stylesheets!

  • Because little green men WANT to be found

    Are we alone in the universe? Maybe, maybe not, but one of the biggest, coolest computing projects known to mankind is still running strong. That’s right, I’m talking about the SETI@Home project!

    And what makes it cool to me? Well, other than all the cool astronomy and other science involved, it’s that they generate little certificates for processing milestones… like this one.

    Now don’t you wish you were as cool as I?

  • Cutesy icon added to site

    Because I can’t resist the temptation to indulge in the latest, greatest goofy web-design trend, there’s now ‘favicon’ support on this site. If you notice the super-scaled-down version of my Deviant Picture adorning the address bar, bookmark or browser tab while surfing here… good for you.

    And if you actually have bookmarked this site and you aren’t me, please don’t tell me. I’d simply faint dead away.

  • The Webcam Returns

    You’ll notice that along the left is a link to the “Office” camera. Yes, it works. It’s a 60-second refreshing webcam attached to a test server in my office. I’ll probably end up moving it over to Zero later on, but this configuration will suit my needs for the time being.

    Next on the agenda? Improve the overall look of this site. I’m thinking of going to a three-column rig… calendar and other Monaural Jerk stuff (channels, media) on the right and regular links and what-not on the left. What do you think, sirs?

  • Site configuration improved…?

    I‘m trying out the three-column format I mentioned earlier. You may also have noticed the new headline graphic I hacked together in Fireworks. It’s based on my DeviantArt ID, since we all know that recycling ideas is an efficient way to go.

    Oh yeah, I’m supposed to say that it’s really about maintaining a consistent look and feel, or some gobbledygook along those lines. Take your pick.
