Work, play, and everything in-between.
I’ve reverted to a Blogger template. That is, until I can fix the browser-compatibility issues with my previous CSS.
This is a lesson for me: I have a lot to learn about CSS. What a retard! It’s a cardinal rule: nothing works for all browsers out of the box.
Well, back to the drawing board. Next week, I’ll probably have something new.
Friends have pointed out to me that this blog doesn’t view properly in Opera and IE. (Yes, they have wasted time reading this blog.)
Surely they jest, I said. Being a bit arrogant, I dimwittedly thought that all people (at least in my circle) use the greatest browser on earth. Alas, I have seen the error of my ways, in a big way.
This blog, looking shitty as it is, looks even shittier in IE. I don’t know how it looks like in Opera, but I’ll bet it’s just as crappy. Gawd.
So, back to the drawing board.
(In the meantime, I feign ignorance when my friends tell me my blog doesn’t look right. I secretly email them a link to the downloads page of the greatest browser on earth, with the promise that if they lack the bandwidth, the toothfairy will put CDs under their pillows.)
Ever got tired of film reviews and critics? Your bum numbed in all that sitting through a movie wondering when the plot will begin? No more worries, Movie-A-Minute has cut through all the crap and gives you the lowdown on some of the best films in our time.
And if you love books, surely you’ll love Book-A-Minute.
My family and I are off to Zambales later this morning (it is, after all, 1:51 AM in my time zone). Yey!
This is my son’s (all two-and-a-half years of him) first trip to the beach, and just the second time with my wife. The first time my wife and I went to the beach, we weren’t even friends.
Ah, I remember that time (though my wife keeps teasing me that I was with someone else that time that’s why I remember it so vividly — jealous, she is): it was in the Hundred Islands, Pangasinan. I took a photo of her wading in a puddle beside a boat. Lovely, that one. I kick myself now why I didn’t even give her more attention back then, it would have been well worth it.
But now is the time to rekindle that spark that could have been. Something needs rekindling, I think. My wife and I are undergoing a bit of a stress lately, but nothing we couldn’t handle, the way we’ve managed everything else so far.
So off we go! (My wife and the little one’s asleep now. I’m updating my FC1 Linux box. Aww, maybe I’ll just leave it for now and snuggle with them. Besides, it’s awfully cold in here…)
I’ve added a site counter here to check up on any visits. (As if there’ll be any. =/)
I’m not that confident that anyone can dig into my site. But I espouse this philosophy that has never failed me so far: put your content, and if it’s any good, people will catch it.
Still, I haven’t advertised this site — only to a few friends with open minds. I’m playing this one by ear, I suppose, trying to see what happens. This site is, after all, a proof-of-concept that blogs will work in a community effort that I’ll be putting up soon together with some pals.
It’ll need a lot of work, this site: no provision for commenting yet (will have to put that next week); the CSS is a bit whacked (although I’ve already had a feel of it, which is normal, as I’m a quick learner — eherm!); the scheme is probably a bit off — I’m really not into dark things, I want a white background or something light, next time, next time; and I have to generate meaningful content (that’s the biggest issue, I guess).
I just have one gripe with Blogspot: THE BANNER AND THE CUSTOM TAGS DO NOT VALIDATE IN XHTML AND CSS! (Okay, I’ll have to contact support for that, maybe I haven’t dug through the docs deep enough. Soon, soon…)
Having said that, I’m grateful I put this up. I’ve got the ball rolling, all I have to do now is keep it that way, in the right direction.
