Hmm. My web classes are having an effect on me... I have made this whole site AAA/Priority 3 accessible.

You'll notice no difference whatsoever unless you turn the stylesheets off. Now, as far as I'm aware, you can't do this in IE but in Firefox you can. Site looks rather different without CSS... and that, I'm proud of. No presentational elements whatsoever in my html except strong and em stuff cos that's still accessible.

I hadn't planned on making this site accessible... see, it's only a useless personal site that's been copied millions of times and is nothing original... but meh, I did it anyway because I care (I met a blind girl on a forum and since then I've been paying particular attention to accessibility because I know how frustrating she finds it when she cannot navigate a site correctly).

Hmm. Just now realised my RSS feed doesn't work. I think it's because I'm using relative paths in my WP installation... I did that because it was causing all sorts of errors with the cookies and skinning code stuff. Looks like I might have to change it back. Not sure how many function includes I'll have to go through to fix that, but eh.

[EDIT] Fixed it! :D [/EDIT]

My neighbours are being noisy again. :\ Playing some drinking game. One particular person has a very distinctive laugh which is really getting on my nerves right now... *headache smiley* <— neeeeed to get those done. Might just get the Mazeguy ones like everyone else a lot of people have. There are so many good ones there.

...Not to be nasty or anything, but this person shrieks when they laugh. *Shudders*

Righty then. Must sort out some dinner... wonder if my fridge is co-operating... I came back to it this morning sounding like someone was drilling through the wall. I kid thee not.

Server downtime seems to be resolved for the moment. Was due to Netrillium being bombarded with DDoS attacks or something. I'm not with Netrillium, but the server I'm on is leased from them and accounts sold by somebody else. Kinda like a reseller, but the whole server is being used to host accounts on. Myarp.

Well. My server has been down more times than it's been up this week. Wtf is that about? That and the whole redirecting-to-some-ad-site-with-viruses... Really wish I had hosted this site with AGn again, it might have been more expensive but at least it was rarely down. /rant

In other news... Wheee! I named a script over at CG! Someone asked for a name, so I said the first thing that popped into my head - something kinda samey for PHP scripts - and she (the girl who was writing the script) chose to use it. *beams* :D

...Yes I was the only one who replied. But she could've thought up a different name/waited for someone else to suggest something... Eh... No matter, I feel as if at last my existence has been worthwhile. XD
Easily pleased, me. :P

I need me some smilies on this here blog. There are loads that come to mind, but I want to make my own... Only where to start is a problem. That and the fact that I really should be working on a 2000 word essay due in on Tuesday. :\ Decisions.
