Fairfax County 4-H Fair

We crashed the local 4-H fair this weekend. We saw goats, cows, sheep, chicken, rabbits, cool science projects and fun amusement rides; I uploaded the pics into a photo album.

New Journal Theme: MIX

The new theme I’ve been testing (MIX, which is a Sandbox variation) was successfully implemented last night.

I’m still tweaking a few things, but it seems solid enough to warrant putting it into primetime. For the record, I’m hoping to fix the following items soon:

  • smilies, which look kinda weird
  • HTML & CSS validation
  • font overlap in the title
  • page load testing with Yslow for Firebug

Leave a comment if you have any issues.

Journal Maintenance and Database Degradation

I’ll be putting the Journal into Maintenance Mode soon, while I work on the theme. Shouldn’t take more than two hours, max.

Also, since I’m already writing a Journal article, I’ll mention that database-intensive parts of PlanetJK (like the Journal and the Photo Albums) seem to be taking an inordinate amount of time to load- I’m looking into it.

To do, To do…

… there’s lots to do.

I woke up at 0400 this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. Around 0500 I cranked up the Too Human demo and got my game one. W00t! I’m honestly considering it for the next Xbox 360 purchase, I really enjoy the mix of mythology, cybernetics, first person shooter, swordplay, and RPG aspects.

Now that I’ve played my heart out, I’m going to work on the forum for our Kickball division, do some maintenance on my Ubuntu PC, and hopefully do some maintenance on PlanetJK. Oh, and I’ll be updating my TweetWhatYouEat and Traineo fitness profiles first.

Hopefully I can snag another two or three hours of sleep before I go play kickball this afternoon.

P.S.: Discovery Channel’s “I Love This World” commercial is awesome. :)
