I’ve made some recent changes to the layout. Unless you’re reading this through the LiveJournal feed, in which case you probably haven’t noticed. For the theme underlying the webpage, I use Tarski, a very flexible layout with some features that I really like. I find the plain generic Tarski to be a little bland, butContinue reading “On Recent Changes”

On Santa's Reindeer
And just because I was in a silly Christmas mood… 🙂 You Are Comet A total daredevil, you’re the reindeer with an edge! Why You’re Naughty: You almost gave Santa a heart attack when you took him sky diving Why You’re Nice: You always make sure the sleigh is going warp speed Which of Santa’sContinue reading “On Santa's Reindeer”
On Tarot Cards
Though I’ve done a similar quiz before (where I was revealed to be the Hierophant), there’s a new Internet meme going around, seen most recently on Lisa‘s LiveJournal–which Tarot Card best fits your personality: You are The Lovers Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very oftenContinue reading “On Tarot Cards”
On Erudition
Snagged from Keith, an English quiz: Your Vocabulary Score: A+ Congratulations on your multifarious vocabulary! You must be quite an erudite person. How’s Your Vocabulary?
On Opera Widgets
The latest version of Opera, the 9.x version, added a new feature: widgets. Basically, they’re little mini-apps that can run under Opera. Some will bring you newsfeed. Some will tell the weather. Some play chess. Not good chess, but what does one expect for a program with a small footprint like the chess widget? OnContinue reading “On Opera Widgets”

I don’t usually see those replies–it’s not often that I check the LJ feed. If you have a comment to make on something I’ve said, please come visit allyngibson.com andContinue reading “On the LiveJournal Feed”
On What My Birthday Meant
As my birthday was last week, and I saw this popping up on other friends’ webpages, I thought I’d take a look–what does my birthday mean? Your Birthdate: June 24 You understand people well and are a natural born therapist. A peacemaker, people always seem to get along when you are around. You tend toContinue reading “On What My Birthday Meant”
On Fonts
I found this top ten list of warning signs of being a fontaholic. Let’s run down the list, shall we? 10. You spend more time looking at how the name of the car in front of you is written rather than where you’re going. Can’t say I’ve done this, no. 9. You have 3 orContinue reading “On Fonts”
On Upgrading
After a minor hiccup, we’re now running on the latest and greatest iteration of the WordPress software, version 2.0.2. Definitely different on the back end. On the front end, though, there should be no significant changes. Except for the five minutes where the webpage showed no content at all, hence the “minor hiccup.” 🙂
On Sinking into a Mire
Just because this is weird… 😉 You will sink in a mire. You like to think you’re normal, but deep down you really just want to strip off your clothes and roll around in chicken fat. What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die? brought to you by Quizilla
