⇒ 2 shocks

snooping around my blog today, I got 2 shocks:

1. someone (more than one person) flagged my blog as having inappropriate content. Really? Which part?

and

2. people read my blog? Really? It's called supplementary notes for a reason. I blog to clear my head and enhance my netting experience...

⇒ broken css

okay, so i was tinkering with the stylesheet and somehow, maybe, sorta, kinda...broke it....i'll fix it later.

⇒ 600

post #600!
nothing happened today, which is just the way i like it sometimes...

gym and swim kind of day...running not so good these days...i think it's the willpower there's very little there.

swimming is ok too...feels good after the painful run. Will trial a 3-4 day layoff...see how my legs respond.

⇒ site edits

changes made to the style sheet (at long last!). I'll get around to fixing the rest of it up (invisible text, text-sizes, layout, links, borders, etc) someday

♥♣♦♠

⇒ site renamed

just for alignment purposes, this blog has been renamed to novo6123.blogspot.com and the connected uni site is now novo6123deco.blogspot.com

I'll get around to creating the background/wallpaper someday...

⇒ new look

implementation of new style 50% complete.

It's taken me almost 2 years to be bothered enough to edit the style sheet. I wonder how long it'll take to finish the other 50%?

NB: other 50% = background images, inverting b&w CSS, creating style tags for video media, debugging, etc.

⇒ 1st anniversary

one year of blogging has just gone by. Normally, I'd lose interest and stop blogging after about 6-7 entries. Something kept me going--I guess it's just a way to rant...or vent.
