The latest stable version of K2 was finally released yesterday! I just finished porting my new layout from a previous nightly that I was messing with on my local server to this stable release that I uploaded here.
It is clean, simple and the favicon featured is Lilith; the little pixel I made last year and based my last birthday cake on! You’re able to see her blink if you are using Firefox as the animated version is displayed. She first made her internet debut on KayC’s “Advertisements” section of her sidebar. Ha, I’m weird like that… Naming my pixel creations, ornaments and whatever else.
I’ve also implemented sIFR 3 for my post and sidebar titles; I’ll probably be changing the font to another, sometime. I’m thinking of converting some free fonts to sIFR 3 font files and making them available for download on this here website. Not everyone has Flash 8 and there are also not many sites offering sIFR 3 font files anyway.
I’m pleased with this… For now that is. I’ll most probably making changes here and there, and I’ll also be adding and editing a few pages and whatnot.
What do you think about this layout?
Eskom shut off the town’s power several times today all together. It even happened earlier while I was writing a blog post and because I didn’t save it, I lost it. Everything that I had typed! When the power came back on, I turned on my computer and started typing out my lost post all over again. But not even ten minutes after the power was turned on, it went out and I lost what I typed out, again!
The post that I was typing out was an update to the post, “Drama, Drama, Joy“. But I guess that I’ll just type out that post again sometime this week because I’m just not in the mood to do it now.
Oh how I love hate you when this happens, Eskom!
I haven’t been sleeping as much as I should over the last several days. Waking up at eight o’clock in the morning and staying up until four o’clock the next morning is not doing me any good. But at times I can’t help it. I am either tired but can’t get to sleep at all or I’m just not tired at all. Then I stay awake till I feel physically ill, crawl into bed and only then can I get some sleep.
I plan on going to bed no later than midnight tonight. Even if I don’t feel like sleeping I’m going to lay myself in the bed and lay there until I fall asleep. I have to. I don’t want my body getting more used to this than it already is.
I’ve been tinkering with my K2 style. I changed the font of the headings and edited the comments template along with some CSS to create a speech bubble effect. Those of you who commented before I uploaded my new comments page style will know what it looked like before. Let me know what you think about it. I quite like it.
Well what do we have here, a new layout?! Yeah, I know; it’s about time that I changed the way this place looks.
I have yet again used K2 as a base and modified it to my liking. I created the header image in Photoshop on Thursday night and then started tweaking the CSS and though it is not a hundred percent complete, I decided to upload it. I still have some slight tweaking to do till it is complete. I got really tired of seeing my previous K2 style, anyway…
This K2 features myself from this photo, the brushes used are from ∗ro-stock on deviantART and the pattern from Kaliber10000.
I will most probably be uploading the next new layout once I have styled the next stable release of K2. But only after I’ve sat down and created the header graphic that will be animated with Flash. I’ve already been working on the coding and CSS of one of the latest K2 nightlies. It will be a three columned layout implementing sIFR and some jQuery goodness.
Oh and please note that this style has been optimized for and tested in Firefox only… Until I feel like sitting down and making this here website “work” in other browsers, that is.
