    Augh, What Fresh Hell Is This

    I know the blog is messed up – something about the last post. Dammit, dammit, dammit. And by the way? -8 degrees below zero plus wind makes it -27 degrees below zero wind chill. That’s negative twenty-seven degees below zero. I’ve got layers on layers. I’m off to discover the Midwest Pole, wish me luck!

    Still Peeking, Are We?

    Geodog’s MT Weblog: That nasty IE 6 scrolling bug that shows up in MT So the bug is still bugging, but one big lesson learned is “don’t past div code and brackets into blog posts!!!” Note to self – figure out how to past code in a little quote box.

    Less Horrible

    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…

    While I Were Out

    …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.

    Utsukushii desu, neh?

    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.”

    Mostly Harmless

    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…

    That Damn Peekaboo!

    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.
