Things from the end of the internet

Recent two weeks were absolute low on my mood, lack of time stunt my progress and stopped any projects I was working on. I won’t whine about this situation since it’s pointless, millions of people did this already, won’t break a rule I set myself.

New theme?

My current theme is good one, even if it’s straight out from 2007 it looks really fucking modern. The Look uses this theme, when I first found this blog I immediately loved it, but all links were dead. Looked in wayback, all download links were broken. Found it later on sort of shady theme site, it works and after some minor tweaks is what I wanted.

Maybe due to it’s minimalism, it kinda feels of empty. Currently fits rest of site (which is still placeholder version of it unforunately),though after future redesign I really want something that screams that was abandoned in 2005/6. Almost Spring theme mostly fitted my needs and it really looks pleasant, but there were problems.

It started with WP showing me message in pane in Appearance section that was added by theme, after second installation it crashed WordPress, had to use recovery mode but everything is ok now. Tested previous version that was in Mariteaux’s WordPress theme archive, was mostly working (except this, some minor issue? Not sure) but no widget support. Fucks up situation a bit, as I need to edit manually sidebar code to make changes.

I was thinking about making completely custom theme that would look like rest of the site. While I’m still refreshing my basic knowledge about HTML and CSS, it’s too much complicated thing for now.

Other things

Thanks to borb, I got a toyhou.se account which surely will help with work on characters. A lot of people jumped on it back when it started in some communities I was in, was trying to get an inivite but it failed anyway. I feel more inspired to work on little people that (only) live in my head, write down character stories that I was creating for years. A lot of cleanup will happen, as I’m eager to re-write story with these characters. All things were out of place, things were getting long and messy.

I’ve written two music reviews by the way, but I feel these things weren’t polished enough. I need to fight my fear about showing things I create, mindset changes are really needed.

Even while I’m coming back to school for final year of highschool, I want to use as much time I can to make these things.

I really need to write again.
