Speckled Green

I have a small moment where I can post something up.

Physics is really bugging me, and so is the English practise essay… homework, why do I leave you to the last minute?

I’ve finally added the mobile version files of my theme (Repose, not Changing) to my template folder on the PC, now I’ve just go to work on them. Right now they are an exact copy of the normal files, just with a different name. Added what I hope are working calls to the theme so I can get the files when I finally field them. Hope I don’t kill the mobile device when I load my site with them. Sofar, all I have is the annoying emulators on the internet, or my brother’s iPod Touch to test it on.

I hope to get the Nokia X6 later in the year as my mobile platform to work off (cannot be bothered with Windows Mobile, whatever version you have, or BlackBerry or PalmPre, along with Android, as I have absolutely no access to them. So iPhone/iPod Touch, and maybe later Symbian^1 or Symbian^3 browsers are all I can work for right now). As it has a smaller CPU clock than the iPod Touch, I guess it’ll be my base platform.

So, I’ve got this ahead of me: to turn off the sfx for jQuery UI, to create a stylesheet suited for mobiles, to decide whether to keep background images on mobile or not, to come up with custom page templates, to make comments slightly neater, and to fix up the webpage size. Nice… and I’ve still got school on top!

A synonym for calm, rest, respite. Also the name of the new theme I’ve been working on. Something I’d like to experience (mentally) once again one day, now that I’ve started school as a senior student… rest, calm… repose. I feel so… mixed up inside. Different things. But the thought that I’m not free of the large number of books… why do I need two seperate books for Chemisty? A Theory book and a Practical book?? I suppose I’ll see the point later.

Pretty interesting article which perks the memory, in my opinion.

Hi all!! Hope you enjoy skipping through my blog!

Just want to put out to my friends this request: if any of you can come up with a cool graphic I could use as a background to a new WordPress theme I’m thinking up, could you please contact me. Honestly I cannot be bothered to try and come up with my own design (the reason being I’m not that good at artistic creativity, and even worse in the digital medium). Your help would be greatly appreciated (besides, I’d love to see the artwork).

Thanks!!

An avatar is basically an image (or something) that represents a person or thing. But the movie ‘James Cameron’s Avatar‘ is definitely a great movie. It was a wholly enjoyable movie with rather good use of new the digital 3D technology that someone at Hollywood has made the latest craze.

Basically, long story short, I went with my family and Anthony Eden to watch it on Tuesday at Castle Towers after lunch. Not much happened besides that. Finally finished Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on Veteran difficulty (on the Xbox). Now to just finish High Explosives on Veteran……. Also finished Assassin’s Creed II yesterday (finally!!! Can’t wait till the 3rd one comes out).

Just for my sake, and just because I can, I think I’ll finish writing up some draft posts I started ages ago about things that are long past, just so that I have it on my blog. Like Band Tour, or Leadership Camp. Sometime in this summer hols. When I finally get bored of playing Assassin’s Creed, Halo 3, ODST, CoD: MW2, and trying to understand how AJAX could be used in my blog theme…

And a Happy New Year!!

Update

Internet Explorer is still the annoying, non-standards-compliant and oddly rendering web browser it always has been. Yeah, sure, each incarnation of it slowly gets slightly better. They still suck. Look at my blog for example. It works perfectly fine on the Webkit, Gecko and Khtml engines (Apple Safari & Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, other-types-I-can’t-be-bothered-remembering-at-this-time respectively) and looks ok. The moment it ran through Trident 7 or 8 (Internet Explorer 7 or 8 respectively), it just died. Short of killing Internet Explorer, I’ve taken to starting to write an entirely separate style sheet for IE. No, that doesn’t mean it’s special, it means it needs special attention because it cannot be normal. Like the people with disabilities I guess. It is normal except for it’s disability to work like everyone else.

And so that I’ll stop ranting about that, I’ll just say I’m shocked that at around 1am this morning, some bot spammed my website, with 81 comments. 1 a minute. How odd. Complete waste of time really, because the spam filter I use is quite good.

Drown away your feelings with a little (ok, big) bit of gaming!! Or just go get drunk. Either way.

Yes guys, I know this is kinda creepy, scary, weird, emo or just plain random, but that’s how I feel at this current moment. No, I’m not going to talk about it.
