well, its finally up. so enjoy and bask in its sweetness. some things still haven’t been put in but the main shell of it is done, so adding stuff will be easy in the future. there are some new things down the sidebar, shared rss items from my google reader, as well as my twitter feed. there are still some sifr things i have to tweak, so if some post titles look a little funny ore really out of place that will be fixed soon. as well the iphone skin isn’t done yet. but thats fairly easy to put together once i have some time.
overall there were some design things i had to drop from my original concept just due to development restrictions, but it still looks pretty much the same overall. so enjoy and let me know what you think.
well. i magically somehow (thanks to my brothers friend matt) figured out the stupid ie 6 and 7 issues i was having with the new blog layout. so. as of now. a week after i coded the full firefox and other regular browsers, and lots and lots of fighting with ie, its set to go. there are some live tweaks that i will have to do, but tomorow (or today as it is now) it will be live. some features will be missing cause they will be added when needed. but should be a nice change. so keep a look out.
well was going to do a boring post about how i spent all weekend moving all my email into google apps gmail and fully using imap with my iphone and how big an ordeal that was which took me all weekend. as well as that i wont be using my iphone as a phone for a while cause the telus contract kill fee is way to ridiculous, now that i have an actually number thats been given to me other than my guess’timations.
but instead i actually got into photoshop, and fireworks as well, and did a crap load of work on some new designs for the blog. mainly the design is now in the forward direction, got 75% of it done. so i just have to detail the crap out of it, work some things out, then *bam*, i get to build it. i’m pretty pleased with it so far considering it just kinda happened. running across the right font sometimes just sparks something. other than that i did some designs for my back end server, as well as started the temp splash page for the main elicitbliss.com. that 2005 portfolio really needs to go. there isn’t much to replace it at this point. but something kinda new with not much up there is better than something that doesn’t really show my current design level. so i’m hopping this weekend i get it built in my beta area so that i can push it over to live sometime next week. o, and the new wordpress 2.5 backend is freaken sweeeet.
ps. new laptop soon.. its in alaska. mr fedex tracker told me so.
ugh. was hopping this would happen after my london trip. did a software update, for quicktime itunes etc, and part way though the install it mainly froze up. so i hard restarted, tried again thinking it was just a fluke. same thing happened. opened up firefox as well and it wanted to do an update, and it to froze up the system. this was last night.. and it was late and i was tired so i said i would deal with it later. did it again after work today. so i opened up disk utility and boom. failing… in nice red text.
now i was planning on getting a black macbook soon. i thought at first before i go to london, then decided id wait till i get back. spread out expenses and all. but i guess not. now to decide if the macbook will be good enough or if i really should get the 15″ pro. got to figure it out soon or it wont be delivered in time for the trip. i specifically chose flights with new interiors to take advantage of the built in power plugs. ugh.
