Footers anyone?

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Oh let those dogs out! :lol:
Well, recently I had a knee injury which lead to swelling in my left leg and foot and hell-ish pain in my ankle. So after a few days of treatment and recovery I was examining my foot to see if anything had changed. It so happens that my sister was sitting beside me while I was searching for a lollipop in there. :P
As soon as my foot left its armor (my floaters), my sister looked at it and yelled, “You caveman!”

Go figure! It isn’t really THAT bad, is it? :lol:

Most Wanted Bug!

Monday, May 21st, 2007

If you don’t understand what’s going on, well, let’s just say today was a rainy day for Need For Speed: Most Wanted. :lol:
Seriously, I’m the kind of God-sent, no make that Devil-sent player than can beat the game any given day with most style! True that! But today it seems that the game is starting to give up on me.

Just while I was trying to evade a bounty run, my car - the wicked hot black/custom silver Lamborghini Gallardo - slammed head first into a truck after one of the most absurd series of traffic hits and just got stuck into the 3D mesh! And the stupid/cool part about it was, the police cars couldn’t recognize my location in the game! :lol:
Plus! Today I saw some of the worst cop vehicle immobilizations since I’ve been playing the game. I mean, it seemed like these cop cars were little toddlers being overthrown by a giant! And I’m talkin Heat Condition 4 and 5 here people! As soon as my car hit a cop car, the cop car would either be torn to pieces OR get stuck to my car for a moment and then fly off in the wildest fashion imaginable.

So there Electronic Arts. Make a Need For Speed game that can handle fast players like me! :lol:

Lethargy is a torture!

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

It’s 0140 hrs. which means there’s at least 50 minutes more before I sleep. I feel lethargic! There are hundreds of ideas bulbing in my head but I can’t seem to focus on anything enough to be able to create something worthwhile. I mean, 50 minutes, that could be used to design something new, to enhance an existing design, to CREATE something, is just going to be a waste!

I feel like kicking the crap out of myself for wasting my own time.

No wait, that was a really emo thing to say.

Oh well. I guess, the day ends here. For tomorrow we fight and we bite again. :lol:
So long tamtams! :P

Perodactyl is da maan!

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

Oh in case you’re wondering who the schmitzen-burger-box-of-spikes Perodactyl is, well… He’s the same old, our very own - Pero! :P
Now this little nincumpoop sent me to Veoh saying that it’s better than YouTUBE and all the likes. At first I didn’t wanna believe him, but I decided to check it out anyway. To my amazement, it’s true!

Not only is Veoh’s interface more professional looking, it has many superb tools and services to offer too. For example, it’s widget for blogs and personal sites which is FULLY customizable! The Veoh video player, much like iTunes, except that here you can view videos from ALL networks! Isn’t this just cool? And you can download videos you like from Veoh directly from the site OR if you have the Veoh player installed on your machine, you can simply pick and download videos from it too. PLUS! If you happen to like a certain user’s posted videos, you can subscribe to their stream much like the PODcasts in iTunes.

I’m in love with Veoh! Thanks Perody. You suck bigtime! :lol:
Just kidding… j00 izz da maahn! :D

Drycleaning is fun!

Just the way dry cleaning should be! :lol:

Opera 9.2 cannot read multiple layer CSS?

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

The reason why I ask is this: This blog uses multiple layered divs to build the background image stack. The very first layer loads up a simple gradient tile for the “luminance” effect. The second layer loads a heavier, more elaborate design for the background. Yes, the one with the vector rays and those little knick knacks.

A third layer then loads the native CSS of Wordpress that is, page, sidebar, so on and so forth.

Here’s where the problem arises. Firefox can read it perfectly, IE7 can read all background information perfectly, Flock (which also runs on Mozilla’s engine) can read it perfectly, even IE6 (which people have a hard time optimizing code for); BUT, Opera 9.2 (the latest release) is a different story. It won’t show up the very first layer of the simple tiled background, for some strangest of reasons that I, for the life of me, cannot comprehend.

And if I’m right, Opera 9.2 uses Sun Java 1.5 runtime environment. Bleh! Even when I learned to program in Java around some 7 years back, I NEVER liked the “feel” of it. Guess what? It’s still a no-good-er on my list. Not that I have something against Java or the use of it, or that I discourage AJAX sites and any other script based on Java like green tacos and chocolate starfish; I just don’t like it. It’s a personal preference. I’m allowed to have a few of those right? ;)

Now this feels good

Friday, May 18th, 2007

Everyday the design of this blog experiences an evolutionary change. It looks better than the day before. Though simple, this is very comforting. This site is like my child, and I see it growing everyday.

And in the very same fashion, there will probably be, more elements added to it tomorrow, the day after and so on and so forth. So keep watching and keep reading.  Today was invested in a whole lot of work, but we get back on our goofy track from tomorrow onwards.

Oh wait, isn’t it past midnight already here? Let the goofing begin! :lol:

Get the new Wordpress 2.2 here

Boy do I feel funny!

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Here’s the thing. Your left eye or your right eye must have flickered some time in your life and maybe it’s even a regular thing. But for the past two days I’ve been experiencing the same flickers on my left cheek bone. WTF? :lol:
