Tired of my astrology site: redesign

Despite I had a crappy mood for a friday evening, I made myself useful. I was getting annoyed by the little starlets that are on my astrology site design right now so I thought I’d make something more mature.

I’m completely in love with it’s new logo. Blended a tribal with the D and it just worked for me. XD. You can see why I’m loved by Communications managers :wub:

If only they’d stop throwing folders out by accident hahaha.

Right now I’ve got 2 issues with it.

  • I’m unfamiliar with typography-like layouts and my libra stellium wants to make things ‘tranquil’ to look at. I have the tendency to use pastels and I always have to watch out it’s not too monochrome to look at.
  • Next to the logo, there should be something small and non intrusive. There’s just a (too) broad empty space right now.

It’s pretty easy to have several style sheets with different colors this way, though I doubt I can get myself to do another scheme after converting this into a Wordpress theme.

I poked at a perspective option, which is why it’s tilted slightly. Isn’t that cool? Well of course the site is not going to be like that, I just got caught up fiddling with the buttons. In other news, after I used Trebuchet MS on my blog sidebar it is now officially my new favorite font. I think it’s available on all browsers, though to be sure I’ll include Lucida Grande.

Ah! Good! This cleared up my bad mood. ^o^

Funnier every day

I just saw an article on TorrentFreak the Dutch legal system actually took this serious… lol. They’re already quitting, BREIN wants a piece of action after the “kill” was already made and I’m like *snort* WHY WASTE MONEY NOW? Apparently for publicity, politics and yada yada. The court ruled “pirate bay to be blocked in the netherlands”. Can I go laugh any harder about how useless that is, next to how it’s technologically useless?

*head desk*

The society critical geenstijl weblog of course has a post too.

What never ceases to amaze me in the comments, is that some of my dumbest fellow country men call the measures “leftist”. I’m speechless. Now it starts to make sense we have a central/right government now.

Oh look, and one of my even dumber country men decided to pin it on the female judge. Sup fag?

And another just insulted NERDS. Pffff. That’s just … insulting. lol. Remind me to not read non-technology sites reporting about technology news so I won’t have to see idiots galore commenting on it? Hai?

And as retaliation was immediate, BREIN site now down. Probably getting DDoS’ed to hell.

By the way, I thought Tweakers was going dead so I rarely look for news there anymore, but I didn’t know Peter Sunde intends to sue the CEO of BREIN. Over here he’s just called “Porkbelly Timmeh”.

Tweakers used to be better in the olden days, when nerdish news actually was fun to read. Now it’s always some gadget shit/ new mobo I don’t need to hear about. Also: if I read the comments there I’m not smiling even once. A little too stereotypical IT responses: no that is not correct, you have misspelled this word by ONE LETTER.

Hehehe! Someone just made the connection between the outcome, and the message that prosecutors offices around the Netherlands were hit by a computer virus. Uber lol.

The month of August for Yamapi

The thing that really stood out for me at least for the lunar return of July was that he mentioned he thought he was rude to Koda Kumi on Kuwazu kirai.

So here’s this month’s horoscope:

  • Issues of ethics and decisions on moral issues become more prevalent.
  • A feeling something’s missing in your life this month, time to heal old wounds. Be careful of big spending.
  • A good time to plan a vacation.
  • Owning something brings pride.
  • Expanding circle of friends.
  • A time to focus on serious things this month.
  • Don’t make any quick decisions however attractive they may seem.
  • Emotions can run high, just be sure they are worth it.
  • A good time to get together with old friends.
  • Memories of the past may start to overwhelm, a true step forward includes all steps taken in the past.
  • Do not latch on to incomplete plans.
  • More tired than usual, unexpected situations that need closing.
  • Excitement in personal affairs, but boredom can come very soon.
  • A good time to ponder long term career moves.

My head wasn’t straight today, might add to this in the coming days.
