Nothing Special

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

So tomorrow will be my official second webcomic. I was hoping to get more done today but I seem to have been pretty unsuccessful and I have a lot to do tomorrow on top of getting the entire thing done. I will be busy, busy bumblebee tomorrow. I have coloring of all sorts to do and I’m not even allowed to get help… Okay, that’s not true. I get a little bit of help from my daughter but I have to do a majority of it so it looks right. I am making some stuff for her to be able to learn things, like colors and shapes and things. It’s actually quite awesome because these are things I’m having a hard time teaching her. (has no patience most of the time) so having the means will be helpful in successfully getting it done. I just hope her stubbornness doesn’t get in the way of her improvement!

So I guess that informs you that I didn’t get much done today on websites or with anything really. I did a lot of cleaning, my daughter’s teacher came…. my daughter’s teacher left. We had doughnuts. Life is good.

More specifically things I did/n’t get done on my websites were:
Blog layout looks decent on Wootflakes
Designed Ebi1 R0ot!’s little self and little sister… And probably his mom but I’m not sure yet. I still need to design others but my brother is helping me with this. I’m annoyingly slow and he actually made Ebi1′s little sister and I mostly edited it. I’m glad he’s helping me or you might actually have stick figures.
Planned to make more things.

I have some smiley ideas and still have to  develop a few things for tomorrow’s web comic.

Tech stuff for today? Safari is <3 Seriously! It’s better then Chrome because you can have a persistent status bar and just as clean. I’m in heaven right now. It also has a built in Firebug type functionality. What’s not to love? I guess there’s… no, not that. Hmmm… I’m sure something will irritate me about it soon enough and you’ll all get an ear full.

Okay, this is another short post. It’s late and I’m tired so I’m going to take that as a signal to go to bed.

Goodnight all. Hope you’re having a good day!!

Nothin’ to report

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Okay, I really did lie about the whole “I won’t use lines from movies thing” I mean I’ve now brought in the Incredibles. I fail. #morrfail

ALRIGHT! Now time to give all you people something to stare at, go ‘WTF!?’ and move on.

First thing for today…. I GOT SOMETHING DONE! Oh yeah, that’s right! I created a replacement article for IPB to allow admins to replace non-existent profile pictures with avatars, as long as they have an avatar. I’m sure I didn’t find everywhere on the main board but I got most of the essential places for it and I will eventually add the Blogs and Galleries as well. It was a sense of accomplishment of getting it working and then to be promoted on Coder’s Refuge made be all the more happy! Why? Probably because I had this strong sense of accomplishment for the day.

After I succeeded in this adventure I felt the need to not do anything for hours but I was unable to. I simply moved on to attempting more dangerous feats. Next…. I looked at the code I need to change *ie the CSS for the) blogs and then said “Screw that” and went to do other things. Like chat with people for a few hours and help my daughter work on her homework.

Then, toward the end of my fantastically adventurous day I began to re-vamp Ebi1 R0ot! to be more scalable. This means that I adnventured into the dangerous land of Illustrator. It was scary. I had to keep my wits about me so I wouldn’t throw my poor, defenseless, innocent computer across the room in frustration. Luckily I was successful and even more so when I created the new Ebi1 R0ot! Why do you ask? Mostly because I’d rather revamp him now instead of in a year. Another reason is that my brother helped me and lastly? Because he looks so much cuter now. You can see him at his site, Wootflakes

WOW! Today really is a nothing to report sort of day. I haven’t really much else to talk about. Successful coding, successful coloring (I even stayed in the lines) and successful ignoring things that I probably should have been doing.

Kid stuff?
Day 1 with the potty, still no interest but he does know that the thing makes a sound, he just doesn’t know how yet.
My daughter still has a cold and is coughing up a storm. I hope she feels better soon.

You know, speaking of kids, I wish computers were cheaper and I had a bit extra money to buy two cheap laptops for my kids to use. They always want to play games on my laptop but I swear to god they are like master genius of messing up every setting known to man, even ones that haven’t been made yet. It’s like a black hole of settings and they know how to change every single one of them without a bat of an eyelash. At least on their own computers I wouldn’t care what they did and I can disable access to evil things like the Internet and porn and things. Well probably, more specifically, pictures of me and my own websites. This site is certainly not intended for children. If it is, or it seems that way… You were completely mislead.

OKAY! Now I think that’s really it. Mostly because I’m tired and falling asleep at the keyboard again. Also my brain has melted from a day of awesome!

Goodnight everyone. Hope you’re having a good day. ^_^

Strut

So today’s accomplishments!? NONE! Okay. I got one accomplishment, I got my forum/topic markers done today. I guess you can include that the members list looks better, I got the blog header working and I started work on the Profile. I’m a woman that loves a good profile and I HATE the default IPB one but I don’t know what to do with it. It’s like a necessary evil that I don’t know how to make a “nice” necessary evil. I mean, I used to have one of the best profiles (and from a few compliments that I’ve heard) THE best profile in the 2.3.x series. I completely re-vamped my profiles to look the way I wanted them… Now I don’t think I have the same amount of a reason for it because the new profiles look better but I don’t know what to do with them…. They offer a lot more sex appeal then the older ones but not enough for me to be satisfied with them.

So I didn’t get much else done, mostly because I’m pretty sure it’s that time of the month and my skin scrawls because I’m wearing clothes. I don’t understand it really, I feel like a big ball of sensitive skin. I’ll be glad when it’s all over. About this though, I have two kids and when they are asleep I like to take long, hot baths… you know the quiet, uninterrupted sort that is really….. quiet, and well, is it just me or as a parent of young children do you get paranoid when you want/do something for you yourself? I turn on the bath water and immediately have to stick my head out of the door because I think I hear my son crying. Of course he never really is but it still doesn’t make me any less paranoid.

Next thing to talk about? My recent Twitter conversation with Sparky, AKA LOL_J on Twitter, got me thinking about dancing in public. Now I have no problem with shaking my ass for anyone’s preview. I come from a family of very few reservations. We are all eccentric Addams family types in my household. But, as I talked with her I realized, as I always do, that I’m a woman that stands out in a crowd. I’m not necessarily skinny, actually probably not by a long-shot, but I still wear crop tops and things that show off my strangely colored legs. I wear medieval clothing in public, PJs. You name it and I’ve probably worn it in public, Yes…. even a bathing suit with nothing else. NO, I’ve never been nude in public. Off kilter there for a second, now I’m back on track.
SO! I’m a 6’2″, not so skinny “Amazon” woman that doesn’t really have a self conscious bone in her body…. or so it would appear by the way I dance, shake my ass and sing, and terribly massacre songs, while I’m out and about. Now I come to think of why this is. I mean I know I’m not attractive and what-ot. I think I might do it for the attention but it’s more likely I do it for the laughs.
Like yesterday! Most epic thing. We were checking out of Sam’s club, I do a deep hip shaking dip to “Fever” I think, and then there is this cheer from behind me. It’s like this 70 year old man cheering at me shaking my ass. I had a good lol before I went back to doing my shaking.
Why do I really do it? Because I enjoy, enjoying myself and really like to smile.

What else? What else? Oh yes! I keep getting random comments that seem like real people but I mean they are just off enough to make me think that they are spammers. Really I don’t understand why I have spammers on such a small site that no one really reads anyways. That being said I guess I will answer a few questions that I am unsure if bots are asking or real people. *I have approved most comments removing the bot-like link from their comment, sorry to anyone that is real that has had it removed.*
Question1: Yes I run this on the Application, WordPress. I designed *or mostly designed, the original coding was from a template* the layout for the site.
Question2: I try to update every day. Am I successful? Probably not but I do try. Two kids and looking for a job along with many other non-social activities and chores around the house=Not always the most successful at getting anything done.
Question3: I don’t care if you rate my site, bash my site, promote my site or whatever in your own blog. Please feel free! I just ask that you post a link to the source after you’re done with it so I can read it.
I’m fine with answering questions and whatnot so. :D

I got my son a training toilet today. I hope that it will inspire him to start potty training. I’m so over diapers it’s not even funny. I don’t think he really understands, or cares to go potty yet so I don’t know how successful it will be. *crosses fingers* here’s hoping.

I was talking earlier with my friend, Neph, about how crazy my thoughts can get sometimes. I only knew this from my late night post yesterday with the Random thought about brain melting. It just seemed overly odd to me that I would come up with that while tired and not while awake. I guess when your brain as less “active” functions to do then it has more time to be creative or think of odd things. Maybe it’s what it’s supposed to do… to confuse us.

I think that’s it for the night though. I know this seems like I’m cutting this post short… I am! I’m falling asleep at the keyboard which is a surefire sign to just stop typing and go to bed.

Goodnight everyone. Hope you’re having a nice day!
