New Theme (Part 2)

A little while ago, I modified October Special and decided to use that as my theme, but eventually didn’t like some things about it and also found that search and archives were not working. So, I was modding Glossy Blue, and decided that it wasn’t going well, so went on the look for a super-minimal theme. Luckily, I found this one. I like the color scheme, and I can finally add a blogroll featuring a bunch of blogs that I read.

There is a light variation of this theme, and was wondering if anyone would rather that than this. If so, I’ll add a theme switcher, and you can have the choice.

Hope you like it, I do.

New Theme

I finished the theme. It’s a mod of October Special by Derek Punsulan (link in the footer), and I really like it. I changed around some things, and I hope you like it.

If you find any bugs (I’ve found some, but I have no idea what to do), email me. Or, you can email me a way to fix them.

Anyway, there will hopefully be regular content, even though I posted most of the things I wrote for the whole week yesterday, because I was too excited to wait.

Isolated, But Still Working

A few days ago, I found myself in an isolated state, but it has come with its benefits. For the weekend, to help me study for finals and hang out with my parents, I took the nine-hour drive up to my vacation/summer home. “Vacation” home is a bit of a lie, as every time I have come up here, I’ve worked on the house. Surprisingly, this wasn’t that bad, as I always had Internet.

But, unfortunately, I didn’t this time. During some renovations on the outside of the house, the DSL line either got cut or broke, we don’t know which yet. So, this leaves me with a Macbook that can’t connect to the Internet. But, I have found some things to do to occupy my time. I have had the chance to take a lot of pictures, which I haven’t had the time to do recently, along with study, get organized (I’m finally using my Moleskine!), and think of and write some posts for this blog.

Some hints of what is coming up: A post on Moleskine organization, tips, and the way I do it. Another post on my routine involving blue sticky notes, Dashboard sticky notes, and a large Moleskine. And, some other vague ideas I’m not sure of.

(PS: As some of you may know, I’ve been working on a design for a while, a mod of Derek Punsulan’s October Special WordPress theme. There’s some good and bad news. The Good: I’m almost done! The Bad: I can’t work on it here, as the page I was testing it I can’t connect to, even though I expected I could finish it. This means that it may take a while longer, and has to wait until after Wednesday.)

Note: By the time I found a way to post this, I was home. But, it still offers what I was doing, why I was gone, and what is going on with the site.

Putting Internet Anonymity to the Test

I’ve decided that I’m going to be a lot more secretive and private than I have been. That means that all those times I put too much info on websites is going to end. I have taken some measures already, such as making my whois information private (I once got a peice of mail about my website, it was creepy), and removing age, state, and other contact info from everywhere I can.

I have been too lenient on it, and although there has been warnings and suggestions to do something like this, I figure it’s a good idea. My name will always be public, and one important piece of contact info is my username on many websites, is able to be found.

Anyway, it’ll be fun being anonymous.

Lots of New Stuff

I got a new theme, because fixing the over one’s bugs constantly really annoyed me. This theme is called foliage, and I modded in a bunch of ways. I’m not completely done, but all I need to do is get the Flickr Badge plugin all the way at the bottom to work right.

Anyway, I hope you like this.

I also bought the Lumix, so it should come soon.
