§ Wouldn't Mr. Bau be proud. But then again, what the hell do I know? I've just wanted to say that for a long time. Tables are not evil. CSS can be used with them, though it can be a painful process. And we don't need not steenking spacer GIFs when 1px text does just fine. Another pointless goal reached. Let the festivities begin. I'm a bit tired of using other people's tools and being constrained by their sometimes arbitrary limitations, so it's all done by hand for the moment. I'm so bored. I've been huddled up in the house, leaving only for dancing, food and occasional runs to the book store. On and off, working on various things:

Some images that will probably never be finished or see the light of day
A simple site for Simon's musical output because we were both tired of looking at the previous ugly thing
Watching cartoons
Searching the house in the middle of the night for PK's lighter or wallet or keys or rings, so that he'll find them—on his desk—in the morning

¶ All in all, boring. So in these situations, I usually end up giving myself little missions like coming up with a layout that's carried by nothing but its content. And yes, I just couldn't be bothered to come up with something graphical again. So here we are. Typography and nothing else. Coincidence? Yes. ¶ Pages and pages of tombstone text. In actuality, the whole idea started out as an attempt to represent certain aspects of memory, but that whole thing got perverted in the name of design decisions, and limitations, to the degree that it's not really worth discussing anymore, so of course, the stylesheet isn't all that it should be. There was also something about meaning for it to be a pain in the ass to read at times. ¶ Aspects of all of that have remained, and some of the others may return, but in the end, this is a completely different beast. One that isn't going to show all of its tricks for a little while, besides the fact that details may change according to whim. But I think it's done. For now.
