Fiddling With Topicons
Installed the Topicon plugin. Looks like it will work well once I've got some nice icons done. I'll need to fiddle with the size and spacing a bit, though.
Well, That's Different
Having re-re-installed Moveable Type, I realise that something was seriously screwed up at first and style sheets weren't working at all. No wonder it looked like crap.
Fun With Referrers
To all the people looking to download Poodle Hat, I'd just like to point out that (a) it's not even out yet and (b) maybe when it is out, you could, like, you know, buy it.
On the other hand, if you're looking for Azumanga Daioh, it's on Kazaa.
Interesting thing, Sitemeter.
When I Held Your Brain In My Arms
Song of the Day is When I Held Your Brain In My Arms from MST3K (the Terror from the Year 5000 episode):
There was a time, so bright and gay,Ahh. They don't write them like that anymore. (They never did. — Ed.)
It seems like only yesterday,
When I held your brain in my arms.
Your adrenaline was like wine,
Sweet perfume was your endocrine,
When I held your brain in my arms.
Quotidian
Word of the Day is quotidian. (Well, of course the word of the day is quotidian. If it wasn't quotidian, it wouldn't be the word of the day. — Ed)
Whip That Llama
I forgot to install one little thing after rebuilding my poor PC. This has now been remedied:
Thanks for using Winamp. You are installation number 273,375,923.Uhhh... That's rather a lot, isn't it?
Mind you, it really does whip the llama's ass.
Practical Penumbra
Blog of the Day is Practical Penumbra:
Many people have asked me why I called my blog "Practical Penumbra." (Actually, that's a blatant lie; no one has asked. But I'm sure a lot of people are wondering........ok, maybe not a lot. But I digress......).While I still think that Ambient Irony has a better sound to it, she's right about that alliteration. (It took me four tries to type that damn word correctly, by the way.) Maybe I should try a bit of that... Invidious Irony? Ambient Ambiguity? Hmm...
I have always enjoyed saying the word "penumbra". It is, however, a difficult word to slip into daily conversation. I have therefore always wanted to name something "Penumbra" for that very reason, but having no offspring (unless Frank decides to take me up on my offer to bear his children), and an adopted kitty who came with his own perfectly good name already, I have never had the opportunity to name anything "Penumbra". But just "Penumbra" seemed a little lacking, so, having long been a great fan of alliteration, "Practical" sounded like an excellent adjective.
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
