So I finally get around to do a somewhat new design, and you know what? I already don’t like it. Not only is it too restrictive, but it’s not very different. I was hoping for a layout that was more unique, or if nothing else, a fraction of a difference than the average CSS Blog layout. I don’t even know if I want to fix the comments now (yes, they’re borked too).

Bah. Now I’m depressed.

I noticed a few days back that the right speaker in my headphones was dead, with absolutely no sound coming out of it. I hate listening to music with just one earpiece, so I threw the headphones away.

It wasn’t until a couple of days later that I noticed the crappy back up headphones I have were doing the same thing. A quick check of my sound preferences revealed that I had the balance set all the way to the left. After putting it back in the middle, the crappy headphones worked just fine.

Dammit. That was a nice pair of headphones I threw away.

IconBuffet is pretty much what it sounds like, a site to get icons. They obviously cost money, but what’s cool about IconBuffet however, is that you can sign up for a free delivery of a set of icons once a month. Once you have one or more sets available to you, you can send them to your friends.

Currently, I have the Shanghai Tech and Shanghai Smilies icon sets. If anyone’s a member and would like to trade, let me know! There’s a couple of other sets there that I’d like to have. I’m an icon junkie (which is so easy to become when you own a Mac), and want to have as many as possible.

I’ve been neglecting the site in more ways than one lately. I haven’t posted, and I haven’t changed the layout. The reason I haven’t posted (aside from not having much in the way of interest to share), is the fact that I hate the layout. And the times I get to work on the new layout are frustrating exercises in futility it seems.

Hopefully that’ll change soon. I solved a problem that’d been holding me back in my new design. Naturally, that revealed a whole different set of problems, but at least I’ll be working on those fresh. In the meantime, assuming I can find some meantime (I seem to be terribly busy lately), I’ll probably upgrade to Wordpress 2.0, work on once again implementing the WPG2 plug-in, and hopefully getting the mini-blog sidebar issues worked out.

So, hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the year, and hopefully I’ll be back posting with some regularity soon.
