I hope you noticed the change in layout. It only took me FOR-FREAKING-EVER. I almost used a different f-word in the middle there, but I don't really like swearing on my blog. The other, more profane f-word would have been more appropriate, though. It drove me crazy. Sure, at first it was simply looking through the code and deleting stuff that I didn't need, but then once the stuff was deleted other stuff needed to be moved around. Then it was simply changing widths and padding. But then I had a line down the middle of the entries.

I began the process at 10:00pm. I ended the process at 12:15am. It took about an hour to delete stuff and changing widths and padding. The other hour and a quarter was spent trying to get rid of the line. I thought that the line was a border for something, so I changed around a ton of borders...then changed them back. I changed around a ton of widths...then changed them back. Nothing was working. I basically searched and read through lines and lines of code over and over and over and over and over again for over an hour. It was infuriating, but I knew that I couldn't give up or go to bed until I finished.

It's still sort of not quite right, which bothers me. For one, the line that I had to delete through the middle I was hoping to move to the side to separate the entries and the side bit, but it turned out that it was a picture that couldn't be moved. Also, the header is too far to the left. And the side bit is short and the horizontal lines further down go all the way across and look kind of weird.

Of course, I could get rid of the horizontal lines too to be rid of that awkwardness. At the moment, however, I feel that I have butchered Terka's fine work enough. If this stuff bothers her as much as it bothers me, perhaps she will go through and fix it. Or perhaps I will go through later and fix it. I know that code forwards and backwards now. I'm slightly literate in HTML and CSS again. Not that I could ever possibly write it, but I know how to read it and tell what stuff does.

Okay. So. I'm in a weird sort of fed up mood. I don't really know. After searching through lines of code for hours, I'm rather irritated.

I'm listening to the radio right now. It's basically like, current hits. And they just announced a song as "New music," so I was all excited. Are they going to play something new and interesting that I can get into?

No. They're going to play a song that they play pretty much once an hour. I don't think a song counts as "new" if you play it that often. Just a memo to KISS 108. It's great, after listening to this station for only a few hours, you can learn the words to every song they play. The repetitiveness doesn't usually bother me: only when I actually pay attention. They have quite a lot of commercials too. There is this one commercial that I particularly love about a mango. It's a hoot.

This entry is kind of rambling and poorly written, and I apologize. But I think you can live through.

As an ending note, The Stranger by Albert Camus makes no sense and I do not look forward to writing my notes on it.

That is all. At ease, soldier.



EDIT: I've gotten the hang of this CSS/HTML thing again. I fixed up the layout to my liking. I hope you like it too. If not...too bad.
