Facelift

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

When I started with this blog I decided for some older template which I only tweaked a bit until I really liked the design. Now being on the most recent WordPress it was a bit odd this template didn’t support dynamic widgets.

Today I did spend a bit of time overworking the internal template structures to give it a state of the art technical design. You may now think: Huh! He changed something?!

Yeah, thats fine …. As for I did it for me and not for you!

Just now I’m running with actived widgets and even got this odd Archive to work, as it was meant to work! No longer living with this stupid workaround –gulp– about to show thirty one postings on the frontpage for a specific selected month later on being listed completely within the Archive.

Yeah, nobody is perfect! Especially not the original author of this template. ;-)

I’ve survived

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

I’ve finally survived my dentist session yesterday . Yeah!! ;-)

Even the preparation for the new dental crown, I will get soon as a replacement for an older filling, did take a bit over an hour, it wasn’t too bad at the end. Knowing us now for years we even ended up joking with each other and I guess we made the young dentist helper lady blushing a few time.

NO! Not what you are thinking about now … Nope!!
Just unfortunately I’m not really sure about as for it was me being treated and not able to look after.

But perhaps more important, I gave this resting Joomla template work I mentioned earlier here a new try and I have the feeling that within the last 2 days I was able to fix most things about it now though.

I might go and tell an older friend I have about. Discussing such things with him, he always comes up with the ultimate wisdom … “There is nothing getting better about resting software projects or delayed jobs” … Sure he is right with that!

But sometimes it is you needing the rest and some distraction in between. ;-)

A lazy day?!

Monday, April 14th, 2008

After this nearly overall messed up sunday yesterday, I had promised myself a lazy day today!

Luckily it was really quiet today and all the new incoming things today were mainly business as usual. Except one real issue I was thanks god quickly able to figure out by searching the net.

So I made finally effort to accomplish all really urgent things to do today already until lunchtime. For me being able to lay back and reward myself by doing some “good will” stuff I had promised to someone recently during my afternoon.

You know such things? Something which hasn’t to get finished today and therefore gives me the chance to end looking into it whenever I should loose patience for it.

It was about some template stuff and even I ended up in mostly tweaking css (I’m really no great hero in) I was able to make fast progress. And therefore my mood was raising more and more again.

Nevertheless I would have liked to ask myself from time to time. But as for it looks like my commited helping hand in css seems to be busy actually themself, I hardly resisted in asking giving me the bonus to say: I did it all alone (at least for today that is … We will see). ;-)
