Color Scheme

Saturday, February 14th, 2004

Besides the drab blue that used to make everyone go crosseyed…. what other colors need to be changed? Post a comment and let me know.

I DID notice later that for some reason the logo background color looks different in some versions of IE6, no idea why.

Ooops

Missed a day already =/ Bummer.

Nothing too interesting going on with me, the job gets more annoying by the day and I sincerely hope I can find something else very soon. Anyone load up ut2k4 yet? Onslaught is ‘teh win’. I haven’t even tried assault or any of the other game modes yet but I imagine that they will not disappoint.

Random Firefox tip : Load up about:config in your address bar and it brings all sorts of nifty settings up. Scroll down to nglayout.initialpaint.delay and change the default to 0, should speed up things a LOT. If you haven’t added more search plugins to your search bar you should, they include things like sharereactor, file donkey, imdb, amazon, ebay, and others. Hot stuff!

Everyone enjoy their Valentine’s Day, if you are lucky enough to have a significant other be sure to treat them nice today!

Got “called” into work today, no love! However…….. unreal tournament 2004 is absolutely awesome. You HAVE to go try it out. Hurry, stop reading this and go download the demo! I already have it pre ordered from ebgames for 40 bucks, well worth it in my opinon.

Program X

Wednesday, February 11th, 2004

Courtesy of the fast internet, I just finished downloading Program X. For those who i didn’t mention this to, allow me to explain.

Program X is a rip of all the FMVs from Xenosaga Episode 1 in anime style episodes. For those of you that didn’t want to play the game or missed out on it here is a way to see the game in its entirity without having to sit down for 35-40 hours and play through it. Over 7.5 hours of high quality goodness, this is something all sci-fi, rpg, and anime fans should watch.

For those that I do not speak to very often I finished painting the office. Instead of being that drab pink color it is now a very dark blue. I also mounted my rear speakers to the ceiling courtesy of Wal-Mart and 7.87 + tax. Cheers to Erik on that one for informing me about what wal-mart carried.

More work for me, I will post some thumbnails + high quality pics later of the speakers and room color.

Thanks everyone

I have recieved various feedback on the blog, thanks for the feedback everyone. I am going to play with the color scheme today and fix the small layout bug with firebird / firefox.

Poop Colors

Monday, February 9th, 2004

I have already recieved various comments about the “poop” color scheme. Yikes!
I couldn’t think of what to do for the tagline in the logo, you can thank JP for the wonderful line you guys see now, pretty clever.
Mr. Champlin informed me this morning at work that Clocks recieved record of the year at the Grammys last night, if you haven’t listened to clocks in awhile…… you owe it to yourself to load up winamp and listen to it again.

In other news…. Firebird became Firefox. Hurry, go download it now.

Link for the villagers here. I will keep the link up until mozilla.org can keep up with the downloaders.

Back to work for me now…

New design is here

Yeah, look, hooray.

If you like it or don’t, please leave me some feedback. The only thing I am not super proud of at the moment is the blue title text, any suggestions as to an alternative color?

Everyone enjoy their week!
