Empty Cage

My Birthday Entry

Every single year on my birthday I blog or write about what I thought about the year that has passed, usually ranking it in terms of ‘good’, ‘bad’ or ‘ugly’. Last year was a bit on the ugly side, but I’m confident in my ability to make this year rock. After all, I am going overseas to have some sort of amazing adventure. (At least, that’s what I’m told, I’m still I touch skeptical about the whole thing). I’ve brooded on being old in my journal for ages now and don’t feel like continuing, so, my few empty cage readers… feel very lucky. You could have had to deal with me complaining about being almost a senior citizen. (Not that I would mind a pension).

I have no plans tomorrow, despite being legal drinking age I really do detest drinking in general. So, I’ll have caffine and sugar for my birthday which I doubt is much better for me. I’ll do all my website and other intended updates later, it is my birthday afterall, and I can only use that excuse once a year!

Live~!

I actually finally went live yesterday after that post! So my main domain is accessible to absolutely anyone who wants to view it again, though only a few pages are up and I have yet to finish putting up my revamped collective. Though all credits and affiliates are now up and moving. Current affiliates, actually, now that I think about it I only have sisters as of yet, but I’m going to go affiliate hunting soon. Regardless, current sisters are: Amber, Amy, and Josephine. I love all three of them to pieces so visit them all.

Speaking of sisters Amber and I have decided to create a forum to share between our two domains (because let’s face it, if we each had our own forum we’d have about one member between the two of us). It’s not really ready yet, but I have it linked in the sidebar because my sidebar was looking lonely. I intend to fill it up with lots of stuff soon, then Cursed, I vow Cursed is next.

I also got my wisdom teeth out today, so I have a pretty swollen face… which is sad because I have a round face to begin with. It actually didn’t hurt in the slightest, I was very surprised by the whole thing.

Not even public yet

I’ve still got two full entries, despite not actually allowing anyone to see this yet. It’s probably because I’m so bloody proud of myself.

I’m actually writing content right now which should impress and amaze at least some of you. Though I need to start walking to work soon or I’ll be late. Just thought because I’m so proud I can puff up my little chest by posting to myself.

By the way — I LEAVE FEBRUARY 11th! Horrah!

Sweet Mother of Mercy!

After perhaps the greatest battle I have ever had with anything website related I have finally created the second version of Empty Cage, this one actually features an empty cage I would like to point out.

Now you may be asking what it is that makes this perhaps the most difficult coding webdesign job ever, despite the fact that it’s not a far cry from my usual digital fare. I’ve been a fan of the two column divs since they were new and hip. (As they are no longer cool, I here CSS has taken over…) Well the crucial difference lies in two places.

First, it is compatible with Mozilla Firefox which, though many of my others technically are they are all complete flukes. This one I worked HARD for all you Firefoxians, so I demand your love and appreciation. I even sacrified a bit of spacing on the comment box in IE for you!

Second, I integrated Wordpress into this layout, while it sounds like a happy jaunt in the park do not let that decieve you. I have never known digital agony like Wordpress integration, you’d think it was brain surgery at some points. Maybe I’ll write a tutorial now that I know how its done. I used a combo of four or five tutorials while tearing a Wordpress theme apart. Not-bloody-fun-let-me-tell-you!

So, I’m getting my plane ticket tomorrow, which was the real reason I was so anal about getting the blog potion of my website up so quickly. People on my side of the pond will want to witness my exploits I imagine, as well as see the hundreds of pictures I will undoubtedly take. I’m both excited and nervous about the whole thing, it’s such a huge adventure though and I cannot help being overjoyed at the mere thought!

For my websiting, everything will be getting an overhaul, starting with the main page, then moving into Cursed, and followed, most likely by Bloodlust. I hope to get a bit of work done during the delirious phase of having my wisdom teeth torn from my head, I have some new websites in the works because of the revolting ammount of space I have.

Speaking of which, any friends, family or acquaintances who are looking for a sizable chunk of webspace to put a dash of god-only-knows-what on I have I think four subdomains avaliable. So, I can host a few people… and seriously… space is of no concern right now.

Those of you with websites already, let’s link ^_~

In conclusion, I’m actually working on websites now, which is a huge switch from the usual “I’ll get to it… later.” I got through the hard stuff, so now it’s just filling like there’s no tomorrow.
