Modding WordPress Default Template

Monday, October 18th, 2010

The site was looking a little stale, so I decided to put together a more “2.0″ version. The MyResume theme by Elegant Themes really caught my eye, but the pages never linked together properly – it’s a little over-engineered, in my opinion. So, instead of using the full, purchased theme, I used the WordPress Default Template as a starting point and simply modified the backgrounds and some DIV widths to fit within the MyResume background. It ended up being a bit more work than I thought, but the look is what I was going for.

Next on the list: update the projects section and consolidate VW and CTS-V mods pages.

Neglected Blog

Oh neglected blog
Too busy to work on you
It’s football season

I know, I know… there’s no reference to a tiger. All haikus have to reference a tiger, don’t they?

I’m Tired of Firefox

Monday, May 10th, 2010

I’m so freaking tired of clicking the Firefox icon and waiting… and waiting…. and waiting… until I get so tired I launch Chrome or IE. Then, when FireFox finally DOES load, I get notice after notice that I should do this core upgrade or that plugin update. I understand that this is in direct proportion to the plugins I have installed but, with just 3-4, the load time is laughable.

So what’s it going to be? Chrome or IE?

Powdercoated CTS-V Wheels

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Oh boy, I got the extra set of wheels I have for the CTS-V powdercoated up in Pompton Lakes at a place called Hypercoat. Great stuff. Take a look at the results! I have Goodyear Eagle F1s to put on them. Should I totally waste the Hankooks that are on there now before putting these on?
