The Chronicles of Ballchomping http://rsi.ucsd.edu/blog Too much, Too fast Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:21:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 en Hope (sort of) http://rsi.ucsd.edu/blog/2008/07/01/hope-sort-of/ http://rsi.ucsd.edu/blog/2008/07/01/hope-sort-of/#comments Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:21:38 +0000 RSi http://rsi.ucsd.edu/blog/?p=22 Just when I look at the world and think no one person has an ounce of sanity left, I chance upon this post from divinecaroline.

Not that I agree with everything said, I’m happy that somebody finally makes sense.

(maybe I’m just happy because I feel less alone in my sanity)

I don’t mean the kind like Joe’s or Paul’s. I mean it needs to be presentable.
A way to communicate:
a) whats going on in my life
b) things that strike me as important and
c) a place to put my thoughts to allow people to get a glimpse of who I am.
The old theme just wasn’t conveying that. So I spruced it up a bit. It’s basically still the Kubrick theme. I changed colors, and fonts, and some divs/margins/padding, etc. Nothing major, just enough where I am happy with the look.
Things still on the todo list for the blog:
  • privatize posts
  • fix the navigation bar
  • Fix lists and blockquotes.
  • add something wicked cool

And, I realized that I really cannot stand the default post engine. So I’m probably going to switch to the TextMate bundle that saves lives: Blogging written by Brad Choate.
I also am disappointed that Firefox (on Mac OS X) doesn’t render Helvetica cleanly when in <small> tags. Safari does it beautifully, and I’m not sure what to do about it. Luckily the current readers all either use RSS, or Safari, so for the moment I am safe. I did however, make the links temporarily Verdana until I come up with an adequate solution (which will mostly likely be to say [best viewed in Safari]).

Oh. And in case you are wondering. The name of the theme is: cleanpointoh.

Is it not to share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
and your healing shall spring up speedily;
your righteousness shall go before you;
the glory of the Lord shall be your read guard.
