SiteScore is weird

I tested my blog in Silktide’s SiteScore. A week ago I had an average rating of 7.5… My design, accessibility, and experience scores were over 9.0, but my marketing score was down around 5.0. Well, I recently tested it, and it’s giving me:

Marketing: 1.8
Design: 3.3 (This makes the least sense, my design can’t be THAT […]

54 things about moi (54 for now)

Here’s one hundred things about yours truly (Not quite 100 yet)…

Strange dream

I had a dream where this one guy was pointing a gun at me, and I ran away from him but he shot at me… And I fell to the ground but got back up. I thought he had shot me in my leg because it was hard for me to walk… but then I […]

WordPress Theme 1

I made a semi-lame WordPress theme based on this site design called WindStorm. You can see it in action, or go to the project page and download it.
I entered it in Alex King’s WordPress Theme Contest… I’m not sure if I’ll win anything (It’d be nice if I won something), but I can’t if I […]

Firefox 1.0.2 is out

From my MozillaNews post…
Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2 has been released. This release fixes a security bug with a buffer overflow in GIF images. Important links to downloads, release notes, etc. below.

Also note that there is no zip builds available for win32 builds due to auto-update problems.

More stuff

Yay, I’m off work tomorrow. Maybe I can get some more sleep. Also, we’re not getting thrown out, but paying the rent will be tough. I want to try to get back to college this fall, or maybe next spring… I’ll have to see how things work out.

I feel nothing

Yeah, not much going on here. I’ve been too busy working an worrying. I shouldn’t be living my life this way though… Anyway, I haven’t been able to work on the website, or any of the designs I want to. I don’t know how long we have to even live here (still rent problems) and […]

I’ve got to do something

Enough of this. I just got another collection letter from the agency ODU hired. I need to contact some credit counselors about this, and negotiate a payment plan for this. This is my dad’s fault, but I can’t let him fix it. He won’t do anything but ask me for money.
In other news, I just […]

I am getting sick and tired of this!

Yet again, there is more bullshit going on. On March 8, 2005 at precisely midnight, my internet connection goes down. Why does the internet connection from Cox go down on a Wednesday? Because of an internet bill that isn’t paid, that’s why. Well, on Friday, I paid $80 of MY MONEY to keep the internet […]

Rip off?

Has anyone seen Firefox Office? I like the idea of the product, but there are problems:

They are charging way too much ($30?!)
If they are not providing the source code with it, they are in violation of the GPL Correction I believe this only apples to Open Office, since firefox uses a different license, so if […]

New design test

I’ve changed the blog to my design version 2.0 alpha. Right now, it’s too flat, and I want to work on images and such to make it stand out more. I’m keeping the basic color scheme. Comments welcome

Updates ahoy

I’m working on a new design for the site. But that won’t be done until way later, as it’s not very important, and this is working fine for now. As for content, I’m still in a writer’s block phase. I added some new stuff in the sidebar (along with updated old links) so check them […]
