So. I'm back. Trying to move on now. The funeral's on Friday 17th, and by the time this site goes up, that will be done and dealt with. We must move on. Must.

Yeah. So. As you can see, new layout. It's way too bright and way too crowded for my liking but I can't be bothered to make another one so this one will do. It features lyrics from the song 'My Immortal' by Evanescence which is the song my family is choosing to represent my brother. It also features a picture of Amy Lee from aforementioned band. Yay.

Got rid of tagboard. Tagboard sucked. If you want to leave messages and the like, use the commenting system on this blog. Plus people were using tag as a chat/spam room and that's not what it was about.

Speaking of spam, a couple of my hostees are having a really hard time with b2 spam. I thought I'd fixed it, but it just keeps coming back. I personally don't use b2 anymore but it's only a matter of time before Wordpress gets hit too, many other WP blogs have been.

Well, having a month off uni is all very well but it means I have a ridiculous amount of work to catch up on now.
Personally, I'd rather have got it in on time and still be at uni now, but unfortunately that's not how fate decided things would go. So that's that.

Later everyone. Enjoy newish site. Yeah.

I'm going to redo each and every one of my tutorials. They're so crappy, they're ones you find all over the net so I'm sure you won't miss them. I've learnt loads of stuff I can put up from my web classes, stuff that's NOT how to make an iframe/make flashy text effects etc.
Yeah.
Gonna work on that soon enough. When I have less work to do.

[EDIT] Heh, got my XHTML 1.1 working regardless of IE6... Ha! Pwned! Or something. [/EDIT]

I didn't want to jump on the whole 'I hate Internet Explorer' bandwagon, but... the more I try to do with this site, the less it wants to co-operate.
Microsoft, update your browser's CSS support already. (Amongst other things, but that's where we're finding the most problems).

Yeah, so the date thing (the green thing that says what the date is, you know...?) used to appear badly in every browser except IE6, so I decided to change it... now we got the problem the other way round. Does anybody know if there's a way to use a different style sheet depending on browser? I guess there isn't otherwise this would solve all the net's problems, however I'll ask anyway cos I'm too lazy to look for myself :P

Also rated this site on the WCAG's Accessibility Guidelines (twas an assignment for my web lecture)... I thought it'd fail miserably (I didn't really design it with accessibility in mind, it was kind of made for fun) but surprisingly it passes all Priority 1 guidelines and most of 2 and 3. The only things that it messed up was use of colour and image-mapping, but I'm working on that... I hate the manual image maps so methinks I am going to test stuff for using CSS and stuff. Don't want to use Javascripts and the like because they're not always enabled on some people's comps and all that.
Need to fix that cam image transparency in Mozilla. Used to have it working but changed the script and now no longer works. Ack.

Want to test this site on more browsers. Might partition my hard drive and install Linux to see what that makes of this here page.
Or go on browsercam again. Flubbbbb.

Bleh. Boring technical entry that probably interested nobody.
