Like everyone else in the blogoverse, I find the statistics of my own page weirdly diverting and entertaining. Also, it’s free blogfodder, so there nyaaaah. And here is my first poem. ::clearing throat:: “Why Moon is Better than Mars” why moon is better than mars: cabinet war room dance. winning an argument for kids… elecia battle guilty verdict. Well, that probably didn’t cause anyone to drop dead, so here’s another one: “signs of frozen pipes toilet” Signs of frozen pipes toilet, frozen pipe to toilet. Frozen pipe stories, frozen pipes in garage picture. Frozen vinyl tube plumbing – what to…

Oh, forget the tropical colors. They’re too wimpy. Here I am back at the webpaint store, but the redecorating is almost done. VACCC — VisiBone Anglo-Centric Color Code Oh, I don’t know, too many choices, maybe I’d better keep shopping. There’s still a bit more tinkering with fonts. I love the look of Garamond font for the posts, but need a more readable italic. It is to sigh. Guess I’ll trudge back to the default standbys – Georgia and Palatino. I managed somehow to install Blogroll on my own but it looks crappy. Hey, guys, it’s not as simple as…

…rogue web designers did not bust in and redecorate the place, though I wish they had. It seems that we’re not done with the incessant color switching here, but I have the makings of a cunning plan, my lord. I’m going to go over towards the Mac side, by way of island style. I think. And now I’m looking at color swatches, and it’s almost as bad as standing at the paint counter at Home Despot again.

Validate WWW Pages Hi!!! Welcome to (no suggestions) NASA Rash Rasp! At least, that’s what the fine folks at Codeflux’s webpage validator thinks this blog should be called. (we interrupt this blog entry for a message from Ronco) “Oh, no! what’s that on your face? a birthmark? Acne? The heartbreak of psoriasis? But dermabrasion is so expensive! What to do?” “Now with the power of no suggestions NASA Rash Rasp! you can safely and inexpensively remove blemishes at the subdermal level and beyond!” “This space-based technology, used by NASA to rid space stations of unwanted biological pests, uses the power…

Hmm – bitter cold, dark, and icy. Seems like a good night to blow off choir practice. Why do I keep pissing and moaning about this? Oh, I don’t know… something about it just makes us all happy and contented (not to mention covered with a significant fraction of the beach). imgbrk Gosh, that was fun. If only Steve had stayed buried. We’d still be there. 😉 UPDATE 12/02/04: some slight upgrades. It’s only taken me a year to learn how do deal with images ‘n shit.

Cooks.com | Recipe | STIR FRY BEEF AND VEGETABLES Went home last night with the vague intention of stopping off at Dominick’s (acually, a former Byerly’s location) to pick up something for stir fry. There’s often solid entertainment value to be had at a large grocery store, but usually it’s to do with parents behaving badly, or head-on collisions between those toddler-friendly grocery carts tricked out to look like little cars. Nope, last night it was a woman in a mink coat and her controlling boyfriend – they were either the poster couple for adult ADD, or a pair of…

We woke up this morning to find that the faucet in the garage – the freshly repaired faucet with the nice cozy insulation and foam jacked tucked around it – had frozen again. Fortunately, no breaks or leaks. We decided to leave the heat on “normal” all day, leave the hall bath faucet dripping, and hope for the best. David got some tips on adding venting to the inside wall so the faucet gets warm air from the bathroom heat (and yes, I’m thinking the hall bath is going to be hella cold all winter, too. Aren’t you?). Was it…

Isn’t this beautiful? Hunkabutta: Tokyo photos, a stranger’s life in pictures I ran across it when browsing mediatinker’s helpful and attractive site. And also in the same search came across it again via the great Tokyo Shoes blog tutorial. I’m impressed by the design aesthetics of the pages and blown away by the gorgeous images. I spent two weeks in Japan, and no picture of mine comes close to these in quality. Man, I wish I could take pictures like these. And I hope I remembered right that “Utsukushii” means “beautiful.”

Well, I went to the MT movabletype.org : Support Forum rather a lot, reeely. And I went to a number of helpful webpages, like ***Dave and so on. And I got the most annoying thing fixed, which was the top line of the border enclosing the blog entries disappearing. But the solid line that appears under the topmost date always disappears on first loading, and reappears after a scrolling refresh. And you know what? That’s… okay. Just let it go, Louie, let it go. I added line-height yadda yadda according to Project Whiteguy, I went into the comments listing template…

There are just a few niggling little nits to pick (other than the horrible design) of this page, and the main one is that stupid bug that makes text disappear and reappear in IE6. I’ve tried various fixes noted at the MT forum and the Holly Hack is installed, along with a sprinkling of other suggested fixes. And the line under the topmost date still disappears when refreshed, then reappears if the page is scrolled down and back up. ARRRGGGGgggghhhhhh.
