I'm back. I'm not going to talk about the funeral or anything here, but if you're an LJ friend you can see some of the details there if you're interested.

Before I went, I added one of those Feedburner things, inspired, once again, by Jem. The subscriber count has kind of diminished though, last week it was about 8 subscribers and now it's on 3... Or 2, depends when you look

Oh and speaking of Jem, I visted some site today where she's been credited with the creation of my script, PHPAskIt. WTF? I wrote that! I mean, I don't mind the site who did it crediting someone else (as long as it isn't themselves) but still... Jem gets too many hits as it is, she doesn't need ones meant for me on top of the ones she gets already. Hmph... :P

Aaaand, I discovered today that my site is listed on the second page of Google when searching for Amelie. Not sure when that happened... Last time I checked, the first 20 million or so results were all reviews of that film with the same name, and plus I have Google and other bots blocked from my site since it stops spam... Somehow it's still associating my name with my domain, which it shouldn't really be doing since it's not supposed to index this site or anything. Oh well, can't complain - I was thinking of getting back into SEO and letting the bots back in anyway so this is definitely a good incentive. :D

Finally... Remember my dad's sponsored run? Well, my aunt (his sister) has done a sponsored skydive. She's already done the skydive but is hoping to use it to raise money for Daisy's Dream, a charity she's volunteered for for some time and who do an amazing job. If you have some spare cash, it would mean a lot to her and to us if you would sponsor her. Thanks :P

Edit: Oh yeah, and I made a fanlisting. Yeah, yeah, I jumped on the bandwagon... Anyway, it's for Jem's script, BellaBook. JOIN PLZ JOIN PLZ JOIN PLZ!!!111 (No really, it would be nice if you could join... If you're a fan of BellaBook, that is. Hee!)

Inspired by Jem, I decided to take part in the Annual CSS Naked Day. I think this is an ideal opportunity to show off see how my website looks without CSS - I'm personally rather amazed that ALL the layout, positioning and colours are controlled by CSS, and I think disabling it means that you see my site as it really is - HTML and text.

I like turning my stylesheets off from time to time, so for those of you who are using stupid IE don't do that as often as I do, here's a chance to experience the skeleton of a website. Enjoy.

(Not enjoying? Tough. I'll most likely put the real design back this evening/tomorrow morning, so come back then.)

Edit (10pm on 5/4/06): I put the CSS back. Got bored of seeing my site as a skeleton so it's back as it was. If you have a decent browser (Mozilla, Firefox, IE for Mac and Opera all have options for this - there are probably options in other browsers too), you can view my site "naked" at any time by turning stylesheets off. So yay, we're back to normal.

So, did you come here earlier and see this message:

H4X0R3D BY 1337 Kr0o 2 THOUSAND SIXXX

PEACE 2 ALL

If you did, did you look at the source code? No? Well if you had, you'd have known that I wasn't really hacked, I just had a spur-of-the-moment April Fools' idea. XD

...sorry, it was kind of immature of me, wasn't it... *Hangs head in shame*

Anyway. I'd like to say a huge thank you to those who plugged and/or donated to my dad's charity run. Donations are still open, so if you have a bit of money to spare, please consider supporting him. See my last entry for more details.

Aaaaaaand, I've finished all my uni work! *Dances* I was up until 5am on Friday doing it all, but it's all done now. Phew... Now just a week of boring dull useless ... um ... pointless interesting ... yes that's it ... a week of interesting lectures concerning my work placement assignments, and then I have 3 weeks off. :D Yay! Well more than that, actually - considering I'm on placement, I don't actually have to go back to uni for a while after this week's over. :D
