[Piro] - 20:05:00 - [link here]
Ok, been working on the damn website template some more. ^^;; I know that there really is no end to this process -- its pretty damn hard to make a page that looks good in all browsers and takes care of all readers. I've had a pretty remarkable cross section of replies, and most of the tweaks that i've made have tried to address the problems, changes, etc.
Please take one more look and tell me if things are borked or not. There will be some browsers that render a few things odd here and there, but i've done the best i can to minimize that problem. If nothing else, everyone should be able to access the content.
[yes, the text sizes might be a little wonky. That's because im trying to do it *right* (using em to declare text sizes) but it's astonishing how to one person and browser the fonts are HUGE and to another the fonts are so tiny they cant read em. Hehehe, gotta love standards. :) I'll be tweaking that sometime tonight - piro]

edit: DSL at home! Bless you, Speakeasy tech support. Bless you. I'm still angry at Cohn-Wolfe and Lian Li, though.
edit 2: Rage... abating... Cohn-Wolfe... called back...
Dom very angry. Will not write in coherent sentences yet.
DSL company sent Dom "express install" CD, which when used made DSL modem fail. Tech support: "WHAT?! You're not supposed to install the CD!". DSL modem is just being an ass in general. Only being connected at work means no FFXI, means no City of Heroes, means very angry Dom.
Bastards at Cohn-Wolfe won't tell me if I'm registered for E3 or not, even though I sent my reg in almost a month ago. Bastards. Won't return phone calls. Don't want to spend three sweaty SoCal hours trying to prove I'm me and I write. Note that I tried contacting Cohn-Wolfe a few months ago asking to renew my GamePro reg with a few changes, and they said "don't worry, registering online is easier than ever before!". At which point I went through the exact same form as last year, faxed almost exactly the same info (though with a new article, natch) and what do I get? Squat. Ugh.
Why haven't I ranted in two weeks? Well, about ten days ago Fred said to hold off until Sarah had a rant up. Then I fell off the face of the earth due to that nasty "moving" thing. My own computer isn't set up due to heat problems (Whose bright !#%&ing idea was it to put the power supply DIRECTLY OVER THE PROCESSOR?!), I'm using a loaner in the meantime.
I want to punch someone in the stomach.
Hard. Preferably causing Houdini-style internal bleeding.
Rant end.
