alias_sqbr: And yet all I can think is this will make for a great dreamwidth entry. (dreamwidth)
I've been meaning to do this for ages and the recent extended outage was the final push I needed to give up on using any sort of fancy css or archive system and just do a plain old html list of the default ao3 summaries.

So: Behold a half-assed webpage.

You need a very basic understanding of html to use neocities, but it was pretty easy to do once the ao3 came back up, I just saved the results of clicking "download html" to a folder called "fic" then changed the links to "./fic/[filename].html". People have to scroll a bit to find anything but if the ao3 goes down long enough they'll be willing haha.

I just did the first page of works sorted by bookmarks, there's others I might consider putting up there but this is good enough for now.

I decided I should get around to fiddling with my lj's setting, since it was one of the reasons I got a paid account and Certain People kept bugging me about it. After much effort you may notice that


  • Every post now comes with the corresponding userpic
  • The chickens are back!


The latter took some fiddling with css so that it didn't mess with my sidebar, and will only affect those lists I choose to make chickeny. (Though mainly I just stole the css from the "Scribe" template my blog was based on)

The former turned out to be a simple matter of clicking "yes" on the "display userpic with each post" option, something I could have done to start with. Oops. Anyway, on the very off chance any of you care you can see all my GIP posts here.

Apart from using the extra css capabilities I still haven't done any real alterations. I'm not sure I will, I kinda like it as is.

(Oh, and apologies to anyone who saw my test post and was confused :))

Right! Now I have the photos I can finally complete the leviathan I've been constructing for the past year or so: Everything you could possibly want to know about our wedding. Includes rejected vendors and reviews. Far too detailed to be interesting to anyone who isn't in the process of planning a wedding :)

Doing a thesis has really exacerbated my tendency to create lists hasn't it?

Also I realise I forgot to say before: thanks to [livejournal.com profile] theducks for taking all but one of the wedding photos, he was just as good as a professional and much cheaper :) (Though he did take a disproportionate amount of shots of [livejournal.com profile] lizbyrd for some reason...) Also thanks to [livejournal.com profile] nico_wolfwood and [livejournal.com profile] mandragora2003 for being great bridesmaids! I'd thank the groomsmen and stuff but they don't read this and I'm sleepy :)

It's not 100% done, but I don't want to give myself an excuse to work on it more tommorrow, so...the new version of the Circle of Stars website.
Any comments? The "latest news" section largely exists for aesthetic reasons :)

Not to get all tmi and whiny, but my reflux has been CRAZY recently. I nearly had to leave work early on Sunday, and I'm at the point of stopping eating before I'm full. Anyone who knows me at all can understand how bizarre this is! Anyway, hopefully I can get it back under control.

EDIT: God and don't get me started about my ear.

So, you all care about me and want to help my creative spirit soar, right? Yes? Then can you please check out the new version of my homepage and tell me if it doesn't work in your browser. The problem with running safari on a mac at 640x480 is your viewing experience often doesn't match other people's...Any other comments also welcome, but mainly I want to make sure it isn't borken before I swap other pages over to the new css.

Note that I am still sick, so part of me is a worried the pretty page I see on my screen is just some delerium fuelled hallucination. Still, working on this (also making an index for my thesis and doing the easy corrections like Storjohan -> Storjohann) has kept me from getting too active, I'm at that point at the cold where I feel much less crap than I did yesterday so by comparison I feel super energetic, but in reality I'm still fatigued, just not as much. It is bitter experience that has taught me to bind myself to some stationary activity during this period or I just make myself Very Sick Indeed. And I have an interview on Tuesday! Where I have to give a presentation!! With my VOICE!!

*thinks*

Hmm, that's probably it for now.
