Strange Tales

Hi, Guys. I know a good many of the S2 themes are kinda hosed right now. Something changed with the LJ migration to their new data center. The Bloggish and Style Contest themes have their CSS hosted at LJ. That's by LJ's design, with how the code is distributed. The code is set to use LJ's CSS proxy to handle the access and display of the CSS settings. Since LJ's move, though, the CSS proxy has been kaput. But the CSS itself at LJ is still working. Until we can find a way around all this, a couple users have a way that you can use the Custom CSS in your customization area to get your layouts pretty damn close to the original for that layout and theme.

You'll enter two sets of code in that area. The first one would be the code from this URL:
http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/common/base-weblog.css

Just go there, copy it, and paste into the custom CSS box.

And the second set you enter will be from the direct CSS URL for your specific theme. You can locate this URL by viewing the source of your journal in your browser (View Source code). If you scroll down to the <link rel="stylesheet" section of the source code, you'll see the direct url to your theme's CSS at livejournal. Go there, copy that code, and paste it after the base-weblog.css code above. Make sure you have "No" selected to use the included base code (it's a dropdown), and that the URL field above the custom CSS box is empty. Click to save changes, and your theme will display much as it is supposed to. There is occasionally an element like a border that doesn't come through, but it's pretty close. As an example of the CSS URLs, this is the one for the Baby theme for the Bloggish layout: http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/lilia/theme-baby.css The CSS URLS will be start with http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml with the rest varying by theme and layout. I'll still be looking for an alternative to having to futz with custom CSS, but in the meantime, that method of applying the CSS will get your Bloggish and Style Contest journal themes put back together pretty well. Thanks, Robin

TOTALLY AFK FOR A FEW DAYS BBL!

No, kurumasha is coming to visit allllll the way from Canuckia, and she's meeting up with me at Jon's place in Houston. So it's like double the fun! ... oh boy, I hope she's not a trap after all these years. D:

But yeah, see you all Monday! =_= I'll get to answering emails and LJ comments then...

lol

( in the end, i'll always otp them and i don't care if i'm the only one )
Hm, while I'm doing this, time to snag pretty pics of Hijikata for icons. =(

ROFL VAN'S FACE WHEN NATALIA STARTS SCOLDING GUY AND FREAKING HIM OUT

HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHHAHAA

I heart you, Van.
No matter that you're a crazy, manipulative fatalistic bastard. =(

Hm... Well, they didn't acknowledge Cecille very much (in the game, Guy tries to hide from her and not cause she's a woman NOTICE THE SIMILARITIES IN THEIR LAST NAMES) and uh. Van didn't get imprisoned. :O Well, I guess not imprisoning Van makes the characters look LESS STUPID considering they imprisoned him cause they SUSPECTED him for doing dastardly things... and then let him go cause Luke wanted it.

You know, I love Van to bits, but watching him just so ruthlessly manipulate Luke pains me.

But hearing him talk about the way (Luke) wanted to run away from the horrible hyperresonance experiments makes me cry for Van, because he's actually talking about himself... =(

AND WOOO DARK WINGS!!!!

And once again, I'm really struck by how Karma really fits Asch and Luke.

OH MY GOD GINTAMA 86-87

Nnnngh, nothing much has really been going on here. Mom brought home yet another stray, we'll see how long this one lasts and if my dog will kill it or not. It's a terribly cute kitten, but my mom's crazy finicky.

I've been working on stuff on the Porn Box, but since the first piece I want to "debut" with it is helluva big, it's been sloooow coming. In the meantime though, I'm really loving this iMac much more than that MacMini crap. ♥ I've also been playing YO a bit. Fun to party with people again. Hit it up with midbies with Emi, Sha, and Jon last night even for great lulz and rape by Bapho. (I failwiz.)

Hmmmm debating about starting SO1 today...

Oh yeah, anyone play Fable 2? Well, I know ereshkigal has, but like, I need opinions in general.
