Damn. It.

So, I'm signing up for Yuletide, and I added a HUGE list of fandoms I'd be willing to write any characters in. Guess what just got lost.

Fuck it. I'll try again tomorrow. I don't remember my list and don't care to recreate it at the moment. I will comb through again after homework tomorrow evening.

Also, is sign-up super short this year or am I remembering wrong? It feels like the whole thing is sorta rushed, but it may just be fault memory on my part.

This doesn't mean I'm switching over right this second. I have to figure out how to break things. Also, possibly how to set up a self-made layout. I need to figure out how S2 works.

I have spent the afternoon dicking about with a Guy/Kyle (or even just Guy & Kyle) layout, and have only just realized I don't really have any place to put it. There is surely some way to load it up onto lj as my theme, but damned if I can figure out how. If I can shrink it down a little (it's really, really wide*), I'll get a screenshot to show you, because I really like it.

EDIT: Pic!

Pardon the squint-inducing text. I had to knock it down a bit to get a single shot.

I managed to get everything off geocities that wasn't on my googlepages website. I've got all my stories (even the forgotten ones), and I've got them all set up, ready to load.

But I forgot to get my summaries. Son of a bitch. I hate writing summaries.

Anybody got cached copies of any of my "Without a Trace" stuff that's not on the blog? That's what I need.

And I just realized the two times I've been recced in [livejournal.com profile] crack_van are now dead links. I don't know if anyone read those stories, but I suppose I should warn them.

The website is completely updated up to the "Law & Order" page. If it's been here or on my previous webpages [and is on or before the "Law & Order" page], it's up.

Go me! \o/

In an attempt to get as much of the website as live as possible, I've started linking from the webpage to all livejournal fic entries. This resulted in having 119 stories up sometime yesterday afternoon, to having 274 stories up now. Boo-yah.

The Webpage

There's still plenty to move, and I will be switching the lj links over to regular page links at some point, but right now, it's saving my busy ass time, and it's providing the same information that would be provided if I took the time to re-code everything.

I've managed to update the website up through the Ds. Next time, E, F, and G. Actually, looking at it, I don't have any G-fandoms, but the Hs will be a group of their own, so let's pretend, yes?

The ISP has informed us that it will happily give us more credit on the account since the internet is still out [1 week, 5 days, and counting]. They have also informed us that they have a way to handle moments where their contracted wire monkeys don't show up to do their job.

Are you ready for this? This is fucking classic.

The ISP is going to issue a second work request on our problem because--and I swear to the universe that this was the actual answer--when this kind of shoddy service has happened before, issuing the second work request makes the supervisors of the wire monkeys realize they've not done their job, and then they usually do it.

And why have we not simply switched to a different ISP if the service we're receiving requires what is basically a note from the fucking principal? Because these asshats are the only game in town for cable internet, and that gives them the freedom to take a giant shit on the chest of their customers and call it a good time.

Make me feel better. Check out the new layout on the webpage, and tell me it's pretty.

So, I'm working on the webpage. I've set up a test version of both my css and html so that I can see how things look:

Here's the test page.

Basically, I took my index and added a bunch of text [my favorite Woody/Nigel story] to work on the repeating image. Here's the issue: the repeating image only shows up 1 and 1/2 times in Firefox and Safari, but it shows up fine in Opera [I don't have IE, so I don't know what it looks like there.]. Is this Firefox and Safari being bastards, or is my code screwy?

Here's my CSS.

I've been dicking about with the whole thing for roughly two hours, and I cannot figure out how to fix the repeating image issue. Also, I can't figure out how to lose the small white border that's on the top edge of the page.

Also, I'm using basic html instead of XHTML because I only recently [read: Monday] found out the difference, and my first attempt to match the index_test.html with the xhtml codes led to my pictures completely disappearing, so something is obviously screwy in my code there [if you know what that is, do tell].

EDIT: I win! The image needed to be set in the, "html, body" section, not as a separate background piece. Thank you, CSS Zen Garden. Seriously, if you want to find a way to pump up your site, that's the place to go.
