So I spent quite a bit of time this evening working on the new template for this site...
It's coming along nicely -- not quite 100% happy with the colors yet. But I'm liking how things are done in style sheets...

Give it a look

In other news, a BIG HUGE thanks to Missy! She got me a Nightmare Before Christmas Lava Lamp. It's freakin' AWESOME!!!!!!

So I got bored with this design -- plus it seems to take a while to load the javascript on the side.
AND I wanted to try out advanced stylesheet editing...

So this is what I have so far. No idea if it works in IE and the colors will deffinately change -- I need to find a good base color and then go from there...

Let me know what you think!

So I just finished reloading Missy's computer...
We installed a new motherboard, new cpu, new memory in it and reformatted the HD.

I'm sitting down to do the same on my laptop (it needed it) when *bam* I hear something upstairs. I'm thinking -- those goddamn cats, they knocked shit over in my office again.

Only it doesn't stop... it keeps going. Thats when I notice that the fish bowl water is moving back and forth. Oh yay. It's an earthquake. I jump up and head to the bathroom dorway like any good california kid would. As I'm on my way I tell missy to follow me and get in the doorway. It's the sturdiest spot downstairs to be.

It was over almost by the time we got there. Nothing terribly exciting happened. Except for some jumbled nerves and our poor kitten/princess -- who was (and still is) quite jumpy. I don't think Squeeek or zOrg got up at all. Ah well...

So, thanks to the power of the Internet, within 20 minutes, we were able to find out all about it... here's the links:
Most recent earthquakes
The 4.3
The location (thanks to Mapquest)

There are days that I hate technology and being as connected as I am can feel like a burden. Then there are days like today where I can, within a very short time, find out exactly what I wanted to know when I want to know it. The two balance each other out quite nicely.

Oh yah -- and I did feel one of the aftershocks (of the two). Missy thought I was crazy but sure enough, after looking at the usps website they were there!

Yah, Chris -- we're all okay up here. I only wish it had lasted longer -- then it would've been *really* exciting!
