Geeky Ramblings

So over the last day or so I’ve been organizing stuff. I suppose it was only a matter of time until I moved onto my digital data. After all I did organize and rearrange my room not too long ago. I’ve discovered a few nifty things thus far.
Anyway for bookmarks I’ve found that Firefox’s Smart Bookmarks Bar is essential. It allows you to simply shorten your bookmarks on your “bookmark toolbar” down to just their (Fav)icon. This is useful since most humans tend to be visual, and we know that site is Digg because of it’s icon, not because of the text next to the icon.

So begins my journey to tweak this design. I don’t think I like the header… though it’s better then it was. The logo icon is also sort of funky. I’ll probably change that somewhere down the line as well. It’s sort of fun to get back into using Photoshop and such though. I’ve been in a sort of funk for awhile now, so it seems like I’m finally pulling myself out of it.
This design is pretty nifty, even if I didn’t make it myself from the ground up.

Ok. So I was browsing around some Wordpress themes for a friend, who’s considering starting her own website/online community, and I came across a theme I rather like. Now then, I know how weird it might be to see a self-described “website designer” use someone else’s wordpress theme… But I’m feeling lazy, and I’m allowed to be contradictory so just deal with it!
So anyway I’m going to test this design and see how it works out. I’ll probably tweak it a great deal to truly make it my own, that is if I like it. So far though it’s pretty nifty.

I’m thinking about a new design for my site. I promised myself I’d try out a lighter design for awhile and see how I liked it, and it just, blah. It’s boring, not enough color, and I’m pretty tired of the bright white. I miss my old layout which was heavy on the blues and teals. So I’ve been thinking about color schemes and layouts, and the next one, I believe, is probably going to center around a fluid, 100% width. I’ve been toying with fixed widths for awhile, and now I want to try something else.

My host just informed me that my account was moved to a different server. That wouldn’t necessarily cause trouble, however, it did break most of my custom settings, including Kupax’s increased upload limit and other random settings. Kupax has been restored to working condition, however I’ll have to spend some time to set everything back to normal. That being the case you’ll be unable to upload larger files until I’ve fixed things again.
UPDATE: It appears as if the problem is more severe then I thought. The files are still there, so they aren’t lost, but the uploader doesn’t appear to be able to “find” them.
