test

Bleah still mucking around with the layouts. I wanted to get a CSS menu on top of the persistent bar, but it’s quite hard… I’ll just leave things ugly but kinda functioning for the moment. Also tried out the Gallery2 gallery software, integrated with WordPress. Here’s a sample album: Don’t understand why Gallery2 uses such… Continue reading test

Firefox-y!

One thing I noticed while testing my pages on Firefox vs. IE is that the page transitions much smoother. My pages are templatized by WordPress, aren’t using frames. In IE it loads by refreshing the whole page. But in Firefox, it seems to cache the parts of the pages that don’t change, and only refresh… Continue reading Firefox-y!

Moved

The transition to the new hosting service seems pretty smooth… unfortunately I used a SQL backup to restore the database, so a tiny bit of recent data has been lost (sorry Jesse lost your most recent reply 🙂 ). Still have to fix a few things though, like the forum and gallery databases.

Aftermath

Still haven’t cleaned up the remains of angel-san’s wings. I almost used up a whole bag of feathers for them. Looks a bit sad doesn’t it

Decal hell

Now that I’m fed up with installing extensions and crap, time to get back to some modeling… One of the projects in my backlogs – SV-51 gamma from Macross Plus, which you can still get from HLJ. I really like the flamboyant patterns on it, but it was a lot of work getting them on… Continue reading Decal hell

More digging…

More enhancements to WordPress as I’m trying to improve the navigation in the site. WP allows you to define a hierarchy of “pages”, but there’s really no good way to generate navigation out of that before I discovered the WP-PagesNav plugin. Spent some time customizing the style sheet for it. Looks pretty adhoc but it… Continue reading More digging…

Yet another new blog

As I’ve mentioned in my last post I’ve been considering switching to something that’s faster than phpbb to drive the site. After much mucking around different softwares I’m settling on WordPress. Also, after I dug around a ton for neat skins, I figure I should have done this ten years ago – turning my first… Continue reading Yet another new blog

Thinking too much…

This time every year it’s time for renewing my hosting service. It’s simply amazing how much features these hosting service offers for the same price, compared with last year. For about $8/month you can get 400G bandwidth, and that’s 10x what I’m getting right now. Also wondered about things like whether I wanna switch to… Continue reading Thinking too much…

Stockings

For some reasons I was obsessed with making stockings with real fabrics lately. I think they look different than painted ones. Since I failed many times over the weekend, I was excited to find something that kind of works, and wrote a how-to on it even though I haven’t finished the kit Also I’d like… Continue reading Stockings
