Points of Departure/ Revelations
July 17th, 2010
In the good old times, when we still had VHS tapes and the Internet was in its infancy, I actually went to some local comic book and collectibles shop to pick up my Babylon 5 cassettes they imported from Great Britain. I always got sweaty hands taking my newly acquired treasures home, including the one with the first two episodes of season 2 that lends this post its title. I honestly miss these little moments of excitement and joy on some level. Today it’s almost too easy to order anything. Anyway, I had some sort of revelation, in fact several, while I was upgrading my various WP installs. First, being stuck on a 1.5 MBit connection with 300 kBit upstream really sucks. Even uploading those few hundred files took several attempts and a lot of finger-crossing. Now tell me about cloud computing being the future…! Under those conditions, nobody gets anything ever done. *lol* Second, I realized that I never bothered to modify and define some of the CSS formatting when I first dabbled with creating my theme nearly 3 years ago. Or could you imagine typing comments blindly just because foreground and background color match? Exactly! I couldn’t, either. The joys of conflicting CSS rules. *sigh* So for the time being, this looks a bit incomplete and partially ugly, but I promise to straighten it out one of these days. Unlike a certain, not particularly smart person I clashed with on the After Effects forum, who after one year is no closer to understanding even the basics of the program, I’m always willing to learn and I understand a lot of this CSS stuff better today than I did 3 years ago…
