Open Thread #20

You may have noticed a little change around these here parts.

Honestly, I’d never had the intention to change layouts every several months — this is my fourth layout since I started, and so far my favorite. Each previous theme, while sufficient for the moment, always had little bugs that I wasn’t entirely satisfied with, and I wasn’t good enough with hacking the code to get everything just the way I wanted. (Here’s what the previous layout looked like. I really liked most aspects of it; there were just a few things I wasn’t totally sold on.) I’ve kept my eye out over the past months for one that met all my picky requirements, and tweaked the hell out of the code. Maybe this one’ll stick.

Hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think — about the new look, or anything else goin’ on today. Sankyoo!

Just like in interior design, something is needed to anchor the decor, be it color or a piece of furniture. Same here. Something is needed to frame/to define your items or they look like they are floating. Perhaps a background color for the comments will help to fill what looks like a lot of empty space.

Hi, I've been a silent reader (hehe sorry!), just not really the vocal type lately.. anywho, I love reading your blog.:) It's not as showbiz as the others, and I what i love about it, is that you publish music along with your posts.:)

Finally, I'm able to hear underground Korean music that could be as good or even better than the mainstream ones.:)

Just wanted to say that I like this layout better, I just think it's more organized.:) Kudos to you dear.:)

Ah, nevermind! The "problem" was on my part. I'm using a firefox extension that puts my tabs in a sidebar, which makes my viewing window a lot narrower. That kinda screwed up your new 3 column layout, which I wasn't even aware of until now! I figured something was up when you said you fixed the gap but it was still there for me. Hah.

Now that I can see your layout properly, very nice! No complaints!

Is it me, or did some of the words end up being cut off at the end of each line?

I do have to agree it looks fat. And I've always thought your site was cool, but mature.. (sort of college-ish or something?) Too might white makes reading easier, but it makes it look HTML (plain) and sometimes it gets too bright for my eyes. In general, I love dark layout, though you could actually make your blog a white color with black text somehow. That would be good if you strike a balance.

Right now, your site for me looks a bit empty and clinical....I think you need more color/art/ect. or something to jazz it up. The header has always done well in the "art" department, and the pics/screenshots help, but now, when I scroll down, because of the all-white layout, it gets really really boring.....But that being said, I'm not asking for myspace-layout cluttered type of thing. :P Keep it clean, simple, but interesting....Use white, but add more light or dark colors to liven things up.

Good Day

Just wanted to share my new experience.

If your system fails to run due to an error related to lost HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other important system boot files you can repair this by using the XP installation CD. Just boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then run "attrib -H -R -S" on the C:\Boot.ini file and remove it. Launch "Bootcfg /Rebuild" and then Fixboot

Regards,
Carl
