Xanga Posts Merged
I took the time today to add all of the old Xanga posts to this blog, including all of the comments!
So now you have the additional features of searching and categories!
Beyer’s Sun Bowl Pictures
Hey, I got my hands on Matt Beyer’s Sun Bowl Pictures so I’m proud to announce that they are online (in a reduced size). Matt is working on getting the full size originals online sometime soon. So without further ado: Beyer’s Sun Bowl Pictures.
Don’t forget to check out my Sun Bowl Pictures as well.
Update: Beyer now has his full sized pictures from the digital camera online and labeled!
Update (Jun 9, 2004): Since the ITLabs site goes down for the summer, I’ve uploaded the pictures to my local photos.
Moving Back In
Oh wow! I’m so psyched to move back into the dorms! I miss everybody so much. Right now I’m just waiting for a ride back to Middlebrook. My mom doesn’t want to drive me since my sister isn’t home yet, and then they have Alias to watch after that (I can’t blame them, it’s a darn good show—and I’ll just download it and watch it later anyway). So maybe I’ll be able to get a ride back at 9. Or if that doesn’t work I know my dad will give me a ride back as soon as he gets off work at 10. So at most 3 hours until dorm life begins again!
IE Problems Fixed
Ok, fixed the problems with the site in IE. The code for the tabs was adapted from waferbaby and is therefore under a creative commons license. My first try at tabs was a modified version of an example at SimpleBits. I’m still not sure what made it not work—IE is just dumb I guess.
Looks like crap on IE 6
Well I tested the page in Safari and Mozilla/Firebird and it looks great. So I guess it would be too much to ask for it to look ok in IE as well. Hahaha. So now I need to fix it. Arggg.
Sorry!
New Feature: Breadcrumbs
Finished implementation of breadcrumb navigation on all of the pages. (Notice the “crumbs: <blah>” right underneath the top logo). Also updated the comments popup (where you can add/view comments) to have the same color scheme as the rest of the site.
New projects:
- Make text more easily viewable
- Darken the color of the text
- Consider changing justification
- Consider changing line spacing
- Fix color scheme to be more visually appealing
- Add more pages like about, pictures, resume, etc
- Add tabs to allow easy access to the various “sections” (ie, main, archives, about, pictures, etc etc)
My New Home in Cyberspace
Sorry about the horribly long URL. There’s not much I can do to avoid it :(. If the page looks broken in some way to you or the color scheme is just so horrible (I know.. I am colorblind-at least a little), please drop me an email.
I’m really looking forward to moving back into the dorms in just a few days! Right now the plan looks like hauling most of my stuff to the U on Saturday, working on Sunday, and then moving in either Sunday night or Monday morning.
The stitches in my head seem to be healing great. The one has a scab growing over it, but I assume that’ll be okay. If any of y’all want pictures, I’m sure I could send them.
Speaking of pictures, I’ll reiterate that I have Sun Bowl Pictures available for your viewing pleasure.
