i hate css

 

do you have ANY idea how laborious CSS is?! so i wanted to change the skin on my wiki, the Timeless skin, right? well, turns out i checked it out and i was like huh it's fugly

see, it has colors all over the place. there's some wacky red and blue and green in the search (i still havent figured how to fix that, i will eventually) and wow. the header is blue, the underline for it is RED, the links are ORANGE, and the View/Main Page elements are vomit colored. wtf?? this theme is ugly as fuck

so thankfully they supply the source CSS on the mediawiki. nice. so i go into it, first used a CSS bot to change things around. but im like man, these colors, i cant seem tofind what specific things are colored what. the text, the body, this other header, this other thing, borders, etc. so i take a screenshot of my page and use a hex color picker to eyedrop and see, then ill ctrl+f and "replace all" to turn the links, headers, and all the other stuff to a monochrome brown and orange thing. now, it looks great! although... still have some other things broken, like infoboxes (wince)

things are starting to finally come together on this wiki. all i really need for it, more crucially now, is the appearance. step 1: skin, done-ish. step 2: the rest of the media. the characters, the logos, the favicon, all of that. i need help. gotta solicit my artist friends

here is some broken infoboxes and toc for your amusement. life hack: use inspect element to find what the element is that produces that color, then go into css and correct it. fuck yeha

changes, changes...

 just constant changes and stuff to this wiki

i think ill have to recruit some help soon or something, this is a lot for real

BODIES LAY DORMANT NO LIFE

NOTHING TO SEE WHERE THE SLEEPING SOUL LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE

how it was vs how its going

 mediawiki is a bitch but man it pays off when it finally works cuz dude i was building this fucking table for well over an hour

i was gonna have just this in mind

simple and easy table. just the family name up top, put the images for each person on the left, caption on the right. except that didn't happen. things broke so much. edited so much. needed to change spacing, width, style, and now it turned into this

now i have a pretty and very nice looking table with everythin all good

ill fill in the actual stuff later

well, any day now...

 

Can We Call This Kindness?

 

let my temporary shine be a tax to pay and glimmers through action

exhaustion of what seems not to be my reflection

holding a rose to you with thorns in my hands

thusly spake: Can We Call This Kindness?

gritted gnashed teeth to propel at an unnatural fast and colorful speed

when an unpolished iron sphere already rolls slow

and if you enjoy cheers and comforted laughter

then at my cost i shall bring you a banquet

sounds beautiful to disintegrate the ego

for no I looked so shiny and beckoning

excuse me

search, solitude, reinstalling false positives

Lucky numbers today: 4 and multiples of 10

Visionary Death

by his own visionary death

will strike himself down as a dust

yes, only glimmer and shine

with a black dark interior

this language he calls serene

erased his face

false muttered through his lips but

wince and gnashed teeth

repeat your beautiful words 

for it is gilded tar you hold

A Definition of Solitude

Got a new book on Monday. Solitude: A Philosophical Encounter, by Philip Koch. Here's what I've received so far from it, about solitude.

finally, a hard puzzle

 my old penny dell puzzle book is beat up to hell, the fill in puzzles thing. id like to complete it 100% some day, but i cracked out one of the other new ones i had. and finally, a challenging puzzle!! shoulda seen when i was like "bro" when i saw the size of this puzzle. it's a 21 x 21 instead of most of the 15 x 15 i see

and man it took forever, maybe like... half an hour to solve? started on the bottom left. but damn getting that first word in was real satisfying. no hiccups or mistakes at all besides placing the wrong word in the top left near the end of the puzzle, but i corrected it easily. this puzzle was just more time consuming than hard but yeah... pretty hard actually

there we gooooo
