I did some fucking with the stylesheet, so that the perfectionist in me could be happy; you are supposed to see a random image at the top in the banner. If you don’t let me know, and offer some suggestions on how to fix it. It is a php script, yo. If you want to change the image, use the usual control+shift+refresh. It should make it move on to something else… hopefully. UPDATE: It apparently isn’t random… if you have a script that works to call the image THROUGH CSS, and randomly displays images (for reals), give it to me!
Also, James and I went to Krispy Kreme for some unknown reason today, and after sitting in there for the amount of time it took to consume the very few donuts we ate, I feel like shit. The thought of eating another donut makes me want to hurl. Does that mean that I never indulge, and thus my body doesn’t like it? Or is it my self conscious side getting me back for being a glutton? At least I wasn’t like the bear daddy in front of us in line; he practically bitched the girl out, to make sure she wouldn’t stack his hot donuts. Geez… he knew his donuts.
geez - i almost wish my body would rebel against krispy kremes. maybe then i wouldn’t eat them a dozen at a time!
No computer script is ever truly random. They are all just a bunch of mathematical calculations that come as close to being random as is possible. Your header image is changing for me when I reload.
However, you must have something else on your site that is slowing everything down. It loads “24 of 25 items” and then gets stuck for several seconds, giving me the OS X spinning rainbow ball, which aside from being annoying (because I am impatient) and making Safari temporarily unusable, makes me nervous that Safari is going to crash. Do you have any heavy Javascript or other client-side scripting going on? I tried to look in the Activity window to see what this 25th item was that it was trying to load, but I couldn’t even interact with the Activity window because of the spinning rainbow ball effect.
Nice banner. Changes ok for me.
When I first moved to Las Vegas, one of the first “new” things I had was a Kripsy Kreme donut. It was like I found the sticky mother load. Then, the round balls of sweet goodness lost their appeal. Couldn’t tell you the last time I had one. Doesn’t even sound good to me any more. Now Peanut M&M’s…that’s another story.
Amber, you have made me worry now! First, I cannot use safari, cos I am stuck on windows, and second, I have no idea how to figure out what is never loading. I would guess that it is probably the flickr banner, because even in firefox, it keeps “reading” the entire time my page is open. It is the only thing I can think of that would be doing that. The only java script on the page (to my knowledge) is the script that allows the rest of each entry to drop down in the same area, and the same for comments. I wouldn’t know if anything was wrong with that though… and even if it were, I wouldn’t have a clue how to fix it, as I got it straight from a script source website (didn’t steal it… promise)! Thoughts?
I like the new random picture in the banner. Works great for me. Makes the site fresh each time I visit!!
It’s fine for me today. My guess would be the Flickr banner was having issues the other day.
Awesome. Thanks Amber. I ditched the flickr “badge” and went with a little 80×15 button instead. I am debating on whether or not to go pro with flickr anyway, so I am not that dedicated; at least not enough to make the site do weird stuff. Thanks again for the advice!
Okay, I’m a nerd. I just sat here refreshing the page to see all of your pretty pictures.
I just saw the Mr. Fangs background for the first time… I love it!
Amber… I do too!!! I want to add tons of banners, then you see something different (in theory) every time you come! I want to do more Mr Fangs ones FO SHO!
