I forgot to update my billing information with my host, so the site was down for a little bit. ^^;
And while I’m here…I increased the post width and body by 20 pixels. I didn’t notice anything broken in Firefox, but can’t say that for any of the other browsers since I don’t have them to check. I’m sure something in IE6 looks funny.
As some of you know, I host my images via Flickr, which I’ve found to be a great convenience. Flickr has decided that I need to change my image safety level from “safe” (default setting) to “moderate,” which I don’t have a problem with. I’m sure some parents wouldn’t want their youngins to see some of the shots I take. Unfortunately, this means you have to be logged into Flickr if you click on the pictures (to get to size options) in the blog posts. On the other hand, at least the links to the images in the picture gallery seem to be fine. I guess since the picture gallery links to the large sizes hit the source URL instead of the Flickr page it gets by the filter.
I’m still going to keep my Flickr account and upload photos there, but I think I’m going to look for another photo solution for this blog. I could change the plug-in I’m using to do the same thing with the blog posts as the picture gallery, but that will be a pain updating the image links in past reviews (I’d only do the most recent ones anyway). If I’m going to do that, I might as well look for something that might do what I want better, like I kind of wish Flickr had a slightly larger medium size, not much larger, maybe a 10-15% size increase. In any case, if anyone experiences any weirdness with the pictures over the next couple of days, it’s because I’m messing around with it.
Guess it’s time to update the good ole top 10 list and any other post would just take too long. :) Filler! Yes, indeed:
That’s 11, I know. If I did this tomorrow two or three might be different. What changed since last year? Evangelion, His and Her Circumstances, and GitS:SAC bow out to make way for Magic User’s Club, FLCL, and Kamichu! Recent rewatches of MUC and FLCL helped, no doubt, but Kamichu! is not in any danger of falling off this list anytime soon.
Figured I’d give one of those hey this is why I haven’t updated post. My home PC is busted. It can’t find the heat sink so it won’t start, so I opened up the case and sure enough there’s this loose chunk of computer broken off and sitting on the motherboard. Plus that whole work thing isn’t helping. Hopefully, this weekend I’ll sort it all out.
I’ve modified the stylesheet of the Tarski theme so that the background is dark gray with light colored text, hopefully it isn’t too hard to read. Anyway, pictures look better when set against a dark gray background, which is why I changed the colors. Only downside is gray isn’t usually a “happy” color. If the dark background messes with your eyes, let me know.
Also, this is my first use of an “aside” and I think I have it so they don’t show up on the main RSS feed. If it does show up, sorry about that, I didn’t do something right.
