IM IN UR OCEAN. EATIN UR CARDZ.

Makeover

jillapalooza.com got a makeover this weekend!! I coudn’t live without pink and/or stars any longer so here it is, Pink Stars 1.0!! I modified the header image to include the classic jillapalooza logo and I used The GIMP to make it fuzzy and give it a white shadow to match the stars. When I removed the default blog title/slogan that was in the theme it made my header skyline rocket to the top of the page, so I had to edit the margins in the style sheet, then change some of the code so it looked equally as good in IE as it did in Firefox.

Then I decided to upgrade my polls, Akismet spam filter and WPG2 plug-in which was a Bitch with a capital B. Now that the embedded page is a WordPress page and not an external .php page, it gave me all sorts of troubles. The gallery portion was all off centered and too large. I ended up copying my header/footer files into wpg2header/footer and that seemed to take care of the problem with centering. Then I cropped my header image and added a new style class so that my gallery started near the top of the page instead of half way down. It could look better, but who’s complaining? Still looks crappy in IE though, but who uses that anyway?

Here’s to semi-successful upgrades!! :D

Let me know what you think.

I ? my iPod

I have just discovered a new love for my iPod. Sure, it’s an old, bulky, white, 20 gig (only) Gen 2. And so what iTunes doesn’t jive with my Vista PC? I have to CONTROL+OPEN APPLE+RESET it every time I turn it on with less than 3/4 charge. It doesn’t have an FM tuner like the Zune. It doesn’t sync to Windows Media Center like the Zune. Then again it doesn’t play videos anyway…

What has changed? you ask. I got an iPod adapter for my car. I plug it in and it says OK then displays the Audi symbol. I have my songs right at my fingertips… literally, because my steering wheel controls operate it. My iPod sits nicely in the glove box. No skipping CDs, no FM transmitter with fuzzy reception. It’s always fully charged when I get to the gym with no need to fiddle around resetting it.

I ♥ my iPod.

Sedona Videos

This is my 7th annual trip down this road and there’s never been snow on it. I’ll have to dig out an old video to compare it to. Too bad I didn’t get the perpendicular car on film.
