So I’m not super rich, bitchy or dumb–well, maybe bitchy–but you can keep up with me in a variety of ways, you know.
It’s been a long time since I’ve changed themes here at Her Realm. It’s been even longer since I made one myself. The previous theme was premade, and it served me well. However, I got an idea in my head, and it actually came to fruition. This layout actually progressed in a natural and easy way. The changes in HTML and CSS since I last made a layout made me squee in a nerdy way. It’s so much easier to do some things.
Quite a few hours went into this layout, although it might look quite simple. I spent 45 minutes looking for one specific shade of green, for example. In the end, I’m quite pleased with it. I think it even fits my content better.
As I updated pages, I fixed a few broken links, re-organized the sections and updated information–especially information about me. There are still a few quirks. For example, I need to fix up the 404 page.
Unfortunately, if you’re viewing this on a mobile device, you don’t get to see the new layout. HTML5 just isn’t mobile friendly, it seems.
The resources used include Peacock palette, Retro flower brushes and Bulb social media icons.
Last week, I was arguing with Collin about rooting my phone, re-rooting, actually. I told him I planned on waiting because I knew the official Android update was on its way and Google it to show him. And you know what? It was all “TOMORROW YOU GET GINGERBREAD COLE” and I was all “TOMORROW I GET GINGERBREAD COLLIN.” Maybe I shouted, maybe I didn’t. All I know it this: I was tired. I was waiting for the management to show up for a previously-announced check, one that didn’t have me worried at all because everyone knows we only have two cats. 2. Dos. Deux.
And then Collin messaged and was like “You shouldn’t update cause it’ll make rooting harder. Rooot. Rooooot. Roooot. O hai, btw your update is out now!”
And so I grabbed my phone and checked for the update and, like oh my god, there it was. So I began downloading but it was taking too long so then I went and stood by the router. It still too long. I set my phone down and went and did stuff and, when I got back, it was locked and I realized this meant the download stopped because of my battery saver app. Fuck.
So then I unlocked it and didn’t let it lock again until the download finished but, lo and behold, the file was corrupt so I had to do it all over again. You guys, that’s totally unfair. So, during this whole thing, Wendy starts texting me on her break and she asks if the people have showed up and they totally hadn’t but by the time I sent “No” as a response, they did. The lady was in and out in thirty seconds–just like a man, I tell ya–and I was like “Wait, nevermind. They were here.”
So finally I decide to go to sleep but I can’t because I haven’t even had the chance to play with Android 2.3.3. I went up 1.3 versions, guys! So I let it install and freak out a little bit as it seems to get stuck on the “4G” screen but then it restarts a million times and zomg new stuff! I don’t want to write a review on it but there’s a few things I quite like:
I have a few complaints. One, it reset my ringtones and I’m too lazy to fix that. Two, I don’t know how to work the alarm anymore. I went to hit snooze and woke up two hours later. LOL Three.. Eh, I don’t know about three. I’m sure there’s one.
Anyway, my phone seems to run a lot faster. And I finally got my damned Google Music invite. This is awesome. I’ve never had a phone that was cool enough to get updates before.
I finally got around to adding some tutorials (for PSP) I wrote up a while ago and had posted elsewhere on the internet.
If you head on over to the tutorials, you’ll find some new ones:
I also did a major overhaul on the Image Optimization and Compression tutorial.
