Well, my own version of it, anyways. Spent the weekend learning Inkscape and generating several banners before setting on this one which blends several colors from Gabriella’s room (painting on the mind) and makes use of a re-mixed assassin. Quite pleased with everything, if I don’t say.

CSS Reboot
Monday, November 6th, 2006Thinking of new layouts…
Friday, November 3rd, 2006Kind of bored with my theme. With it having been in service for nearly a year I’m feeling like it is time for something different but what. I would like to clean things up a little bit and have the extraneous content a little more focused and reflective of what I’m up to these days: last.fm, flickr, Candied Pop. This is where I scratch my head.
I’m a big fan of K2 and am a little loathe to leave it behind but I suppose I could hack it up to get something different. Maybe three column (Bharath Kumar has a nice one) or a layout focused on the first post with a handful of others appearing in preview and the extraneous stuff crammed into the footer.
Stuff to chew on.
Speed Test

Run with traffic on the server as well. Nice!
Candied Pop, she be waylaid.
Friday, October 13th, 2006Spending a better part of my morning frantically backing up Candied Pop, which is hosted by 1&1, as the site appeared to be in a downward spiral. After a call to their tech support I found out that the database hosting was the issue and that “it is being looked into.” As of now the site is slowly coming back to life, albeit sluggishly, and hopefully by noon it will be 100%. It is times like these that I wish I had the cash to burn for some high speed line to the home so I could self-host it all.
Google Code Will Snarf Your Backups!
Friday, October 6th, 2006“Some of your db passwords are belong to us,” reports Death By Comet. The issue at hand is that Google Code will expose passwords stored in config files, such as wp-config.php and mt-db-pass.cgi, potentially resulting in headaches for site administrators. Thankfully, the solution is just plain common sense: Don’t store your backups on your production server. File that under: Sherlock, No Shit. Anyway, don’t get caught with your pants around your ankles and move your backups to a secure location.

Gee, I’m glad this bot has teased out my theme as I’ve been wondering myself what it is. In case your curious it might be related to dental tourism.
