Watch the Way I Navigate

May 5, 2005

Ahhhh, the joy of having a fresh new Gorillaz song in one’s music library. Don’t stop, get it, get it, we are the captains in it, steady, watch me navigate, ahahahahaaa!

Yes, I know. Lyrics posts are boring. On to something else.

I’ve spent the entire day tapping out code and painstakingly checking file after file after file in my site folder for errors. I need to redesign most of my fanlistings, but the CSS Reboot drained me of my artistic creativity, so I’m settling for code-proofing and structurizing instead. (I don’t think “structurizing” is a word. Oh well, it is now.) This kind of headache-inducing busy work is a lot easier to handle when you know you have strawberry cake waiting for you when you decide to take a break. Oh strawberry cake, how I do adore thee.

In honor of the sort-of-kind-of-newish reboot thingie, I also switched from SiteMeter to StatCounter. This may not have been a good idea; true to my obsessive-compulsive nature, I’ve spent the past two weeks glued to the computer, watching the stats in real time. In fact, I’m probably watching you RIGHT NOW. So you’re reading about me, and I’m reading about you, and you’re still reading about me, and I’m still reading about you... It’s like some kind of twisted cosmic loop of some sort. It’ll probably rend the fragile fabric of space and time, and we’ll all cease to exist!

Whoa. I need to get out more.

Also also, I’m trying out a nifty new setup where I put all my “current” information at the bottom of each entry, as opposed to sticking it in the ETC section and forgetting to update it. Thus you can see exactly what I was up to at the time I wrote the entry. If I ever get around to writing those book reviews I’ve been putting off, I may even go back through my entries and link to the review from the entry written at the time when I was reading it. (That sentence is a thinker, but you’ll get it in the end.) Took me a bloody long time to code that little bit down there. Stupid anti-tables XHTML Strict.

Also also also, I’ve taken another step in my never-ending quest to avoid adding new content by over-organizing the old. That step would be categories. For my journal entries. Like the one you’re reading right now, which just happens to be categorized under Bitchery and Site. Except that the categories won’t usually be listed in the body of the entry, but down at the bottom, right under the Currently section. Because it’s neater that way.

Also also also also… okay, I have nothing. Feel free to move along now.
