I’ll just ignore that fact that i never rescued the only posts from this blog, and just carry on shall i? Yes. Because onward we forge, and i just launched a new fansite, hooray! www.thestreetsofsanfrancisco.net is the first and (for the moment) only fansite for the seventies cop drama The Streets of San Francisco. I’ve got screencaps up the kyber on there, and i hope to compile plenty of info on the characters and trivia on the ‘verse as a whole. I can’t wait to get it filled out, and i do wonder if i’ll find any fellow fans or not. I was surprised there were no other fansites out there, and the chance of creating a little community would be kind of cool. We shall see.

So go check it out, and behold the wonder of Steve Keller’s enormous sideburns. And how all the guys call each other ‘baby’. Rawr. Let’s see how long it takes for that site to hit number one in Google for Streets of San Francisco, eh?

And now, back to Tears For Fears, Pepsi Max and another fansite i am working on. Interwebs multi-tasking, yo.

There is something to be said for finding your internet tasks boring, because although it’s a pain, you watch the clock like a hawk and break away at the first opportunity to go do something else. Compare this to the times when you find internet tasks gripping, and it’s preferable even through all the fidgeting and endless copy-pasting (or whatever mind-numbing task floats yer boat). The last two evenings have disappeared into this black hole of a computer-screen, as if the second i sit down at my desk Hiro appears over my shoulder and speeds up time, standing there with his hunched shoulders and little furrowed brow.

But roughly 8 hours of ignoring the dishes and forgetting to eat later, my website is finally looking reasonably presentable. Sure the headings are in some kind of burn-your-eyes-out red/orange color, but i like it, so you’ll just have to deal with the pain. The last 4 hours have gone towards skinning this damned Wordpress blog - and for the life of me i cannot work out where the whitespace below my banner is coming from. I’ve checked everything a dozen times over, snarled at the computer, checked every goddamn possible div and class and id and thingamebob, but no joy.
In the individual entry view pages the content is also throwing the whole page slightly to the left, but i’ve not given that any investigation yet. For 5 pixels, i can launch now and fix later.

And launch i shall. It will be exciting - no doubt the blockquote i have used in this blogpost will initiate some kind of self-destruct process in my php coding.
