Archives for category: site mechanics

i think soon (read: w/in next month) i will repost my first website, the ever popular Men & Women of Collegiate Film, which is linked to on the Studio22 links page, but doesn’t exist as such since my NU account no longer exists. i’m sure you’re all drooling in anticipation for the hot pics of your favorite rtvf cuties, circa 2000. wipe your mouth, kids, it’s coming back soon.

update: look here.

new banner images for a cleaner, more relaxed look. more whitespace = more serenity. ahhh, winter is upon us

note: i don’t know what’s up, but movable type keeps ignoring/stripping out the ‘target’ statements in anchor tags. even if i edit the comment and stick it in there, it’s ignored. if anyone knows whats up, let me know.

new menu structure to the right – click items to make their menus appear, clickables makes the quote reappear!

btw – anyone know where the quote is from?

updated: now choose from 6 categories to sort hyperbolation by topic (loosely)

new look & feel. inspired by kyle’s redesign.

this has been the coolest week ever. i’ve been doing html, editing mt templates and css, using TERMINAL (of course i didn’t really get what i was doing with terminal…but still i used it like FIVE times!)…this is the most fun i’ve had at work since…

hm.

uh….

ummmm……

well, anyway, also note the itty-bitty changes i’ve been making to the website.

all of the posts from my previous site have been moved over. the only thing that isn’t up are the pop-up windows about the calvin & hobbes quotes and etc. these might….never….be put up. who knows.

today my parents and i spent the day packing, with more packing planned for tomorrow. thankfully i get to miss my parents arguing about the best way to pack glasses while i’m at the (ugh) doctor. why must these things always happen at once? plus, turns out that the moving plans just keep getting more and more convoluted. i did however get someone to take over my eac membership, so that’s good. i also finally activated this credit card so i can now cancel it. that’s ethical, right? i mean i KNOW there’s nothing wrong with it, but i still feel like it’s a little underhanded.

anyway, people move out tomorrow, they paint the apartment tomorrow night and we move in on tuesday. i hope it goes well. i hope my dad doesn’t strain something since he refuses to lift with his legs.

miscellany is currently being migrated to hyperbolation.com – this may take awhile, as I no longer have dsl at my apartment because i’m moving at the end of the month, which falls in the middle of the week, oh lucky me.

i have once again proved my lifetime membership in the sacred order of nerdity: yesterday i identified the etymology of tengwar (elvish to you non-nerds out there…i just keep getting lamer and lamer) and today i identified a quote from “the Game” – David Fincher’s best film in my opinion.

tonight is the 3rd part of round one of american idol. yes, my roommates have gotten me hooked on american idol, whereas i’ve gotten them hooked on alias. this feels like an uneven trade. tomorrow i think meghan and i (and hopefully all of you…all one of you who probably read this) are hitting the century to see “confessions of a dangerous mind.” finally. since our first attempt on saturday failed.

still trying to figure out this whole spring break thing…thinking it’s going to be me and meghan sitting in our apartment for a week while i edit “the caseys.” ideas? that are cheap i mean? and not stupid? let me know!

thanks again to holly for lending me her pubweb space. i love that girl.

this is the part of the show where i vent my concerns, talk about my interesting (ha!) day, etc. supposedly. we’ll see how long this lasts. anyway, here are my current (and inevitably petty) complaints:

  1. why does pubweb only give out 4MB of space per user? i mean i guess i know why from a logical standpoint, but come on. FOUR MEGABYTES?! who are they kidding? so far i’ve gotten two of my friends to set up pubweb accounts so i can use their space too. then there’s the annoyance of making sure all those links work across the accounts.
  2. it annoys me when the tv guide says one thing will be on but then it isn’t. damn the man.
  3. why can’t i grow about 4 more inches? then i could avoid the inevitable pants alterations that have always plagued my existence. i can’t stand trying on clothes in the store, much less putting them on again to be measured. and did i mention that i absolutely hate shopping? i just want to get in and get out as fast as possible with what i came to buy. and i quote: “this dress exacerbates the genetic misfortune that is my life.”
  4. today my grandma informed my mother and i that she had found a little piece of “computer” and wanted to know if it was ours………..wha??
