I wanted to take this final week before work/classes begin to do all the things I know I won't have much time to do later on. So what did I decide to do? Take the most complicated thing that needed to be done.
As a result, I spent the last couple of days remodeling my Howie Day website and I think it's much better than the previous version, although during the whole time this kept going on in my head:
Q: What the fuck was I thinking when I thought this was a good idea?
A: You thought that was a good idea because you love this guy so much you think he deserves a well-done fan site for some promotion, even though most people who will see it are only interested in showing their friends how cool they are for being 'huge fans' of an 'undiscovered' artist whose records they'll never really buy, cause it's easier to just steal them and then complain that nobody knows who he is here.
I know, it's a very long answer to give yourself, but I'll save the rest of the rant for later (yeah, cause there's lots more). It's all done and I'm proud of myself cause I think it looks pretty nice, especially if you consider that I'm self-taught.
Here's the amusing part: I used this software to encrypt all the source code and protect the content from being copied - you never know when some smartass will decide to have his/her website too and steal the material you've spent weeks and weeks translating and formatting.
Guess what happened? Problem solved now after a magic trick, but initially I had overwritten all the original files when doing that and it worked so well then not even I couldn't edit the code anymore. LOL
-------------------
Just realized something: I'm such a nerd, look at what I'm writing about. My idea of funny is a situation that involves encrypting files. No excuses for that one.
