OH HAI, CUPCAKE!

May 20, 2008 at 2:26 am | Filed under admin, art & design

Another new theme, something I’m hoping to stick to for a couple of months. Not totally done yet, as I have to edit the CSS for my comments and then I validate my coding. *cries*

Thoughts?

PS: This layout will most likely look like shit on IE. I tested my localhost version on IE and the Twitter and MyBlogLog scripts don’t seem to work. Bah.

PPS: I made the cupcake; it’s my birthday cupcake with a cherry instead of a candle. Heehee.

Edit – Code validated. I really should aim for xHTML 1.0 Strict.

Cupcakes and diet pills!

HALPZ, I’M STUCK IN WWW CIRCA 2003!

Day 2 of Dreamweaver class and this is what we’re doing:

Tables.

Now I have nothing against tables. In fact, I love tables. They’re nice to put things on and though it’s been proven that they’re not needed to properly eat a meal (because under certain circumstances— say, when you find yourself in a remote island with no electricity, no running water, and no cellular reception— your lap, one of your hands or any steady surface would do), they still make things a hell lot easier.

But seriously, who still uses tables in webdesign? And why does this goddamn school feel the need to devote four precious hours to this outdated bullshit? When we could be spending our time learning something relevant, like, I don’t know, Flash pre-loaders? CSS sprites? CSS-based navigations? Global warming? The plight of drunken elephants in India??? ANYTHING but goddamn tables!

I’ve just been PWOT-ed. I half-expected our instructor to tell us to incorporate glitter graphics and animated butterfly gifs into the site we made today.

You know what I need to do? Buy memory for my laptop.

QUICK ENTRY TO GET IT OVER WITH.

April 9, 2008 at 7:27 pm | Filed under art & design, bitchin' a ride

I promised lover an entry on something, but this insufferable heat has been keeping me from properly organizing my thoughts. Everyday, when I wake up, I ask myself: have I died and gone to hell? Cos it sure is hot today! Gatdamn!

It’s summer, my favorite season. Back in college this meant the beach, drinking sprees, and out-of-town trips. This year, it seems like I’m going to spend summer in the city, getting ridiculous farmer tans from having to walk fully-clothed under the sun. Not happy.

I’ve been meaning to change layouts (the same way I’ve been meaning to work on a theme for helgaweber.com) and I came up with this 5-10 minute thing last Monday (I wanted something summer-y):

Except I can’t seem to work a header/theme around it. Fail.

My code needs cleaning, too. It was so much easier to work on shit with coffee and cigarettes and in my underwear.

You can’t tell, but I’m RRY frustrated. I’m about to hurl some barcode scanner against a wall.

WHAT?! A NEW LAYOUT, AGAIN???

March 4, 2008 at 10:18 pm | Filed under Y!M conversations, admin, art & design

This is what I’d like to call “Web 2.0 meets Angelfire circa ‘98″. The main colors are Web 2.0 (Flickr pink, Mozilla blue, Minutesinaminute dark teal, Lastfm crimson, Shadows gray, Qoop mint, Youtube tomato etc etc), while everything else is reminiscent of everything that sucks about the innurnets.

It’s definitely too colorful and there’s something about it that I don’t like that I can’t quite put my finger on. Like, the green links in the sidebar’s too blah and dead. Suggestions? Comments?

I liked the last one better (something about the dark brown and green that was…uh, soothing) but I missed having a sidebar.

Now that this is out of the way, I no longer have an excuse to keep putting off working on my final project for web animation class (which is a 30-second Flash web intro. I mean, COME ON!!! Splash pages and intros are so 2001). Will start working on that tomorrow, even though that means I’ll be lugging Veronica Mars around the metro again.

Anyhoots, this was the first header I made for this layout:

It kinda hurt not using the coffee vector that I spent close to an hour making, but ducks > coffee.

That’s all.

And I refuse to test this on IE.

PS: Does anyone know how I can go about moving my Wordpress to my main domain? It’s currently on a ‘blog’ subdomain, but I want to change the URL (pronounced as ‘earl’, thanks to lover) to ditz-revolution.net. If that makes sense.

Edit//
I’ll be adding panties and more color to the sidebar, as Drew suggested that I make it more cartoon-y.

Drew: gawa ka cartoons ng mga panty na naguusap
Drew: hehehe or duckling na may tangaytangay na panty

Oh. And the comments colors. Totally slipped my mind.
