Adventures in Zephux

     Yesterday, I had stated how I was done with KreepyIndividual.com and was currently working on the new layout for KiPCs.com… False. I got more wrapped up in Kreepy Individual than I had intended. I started really looking at it and decided that I didn’t like how it was all square, so I made images to make the whole column look rounded. I like how it turned out (still needs a little work, my gimp skills aren’t phenominal). That got me looking a little more indepth into the code and I realized some of tags that I was using, <center> for instance, were far beyond deprecated. So, I ran my index.php page through the W3C XHTML Validator and I had something like 100 errors. Wow, that’s a problem.

     However, I trudged through it this morning and got my index page down to NONE! My homepage is now 100% XHTML and CSS valid. Which is good, I guess. Looking back, the time might have been better spent doing something else, like the KiPCs layout I was talking about, but it was entertaining anyway. The big green text that said VALIDATED made me feel a little better about my work. Now, I only have 20 or so more pages to do (which should honestly be a breeze now since the actual layout is validated and that’s where 80% of all the code comes from) and then I will have a fully valid site.

     My goal for today is to write my review of the His Dark Materials Trilogy, that I finished reading last week, and to write my long overdue review of the movie Jumper. I think my site is in dire need of some more content, as it seems to just be hopelessly floating. I would like it to, eventually, soar. I’ve got a few more articles to write, but if anyone has an ideas on some problems for me to solve, I’m more than open to suggestions. Some more tutorials never hurt. There is a place for that in the forums, actually. It’s hard to keep me on one project, can you tell? I desperately need to complete BitDestroyer before my brother throws some sort of hissy fit. I told him to stop complaining so much and just learn how to code so he could help me, but no… He would rather me do it. Well, that’s fine, but that also means it will get done on my schedule, and that doesn’t look promising since I already did the major outlining code of it, it’s just small, tedious work now and that’s usually when I get bored and the project never gets completed. So, good luck to you my beloved child, but you may not ever really exist. (False again, it is functional… kind of. You can connect and exist on the map, but there are no processes running nor do you have the ability to move or do anything. That counts as existing, right?)

     We will see what happens as the day moves forward. I do have some actual work to do, here, at my job, but after that I will get started on one of those reviews. I would like to see atleast one of them posted before 3pm.
