Ooh, gotta love that ironclad resolve to get some studying done. I lasted what two, three hours? I'm such a lazy bitch. I'm back on the computer now debating whether or not to spend three to four hours plugging in the head coding to make all of Nanashi-Inc.net's html valid on all the pages. To steal Shikamaru's line, "it's so troublesome". But I am trying to get all of my sites compatable for any broswer. I think I'm going to stick colored scroll bars back into my .css stylesheet, valid codes be damned. I happen to like and prefer the scrollbars colored, there are just some layouts that it adds that needed pizazz to it. I'm glad though that when I built my fanlistings I coded them with valid html (4.1) and .css as I built them and checked them with the online validator, so there's one less hassle.
Did some fixing up around here too, mainly in the "Vistor" section. I hadn't really realized how big that section was getting, not as big as the "Joana" section but certainly bigger than I ever wanted it to get. I went through it, decided that a few sections could bite the dust and put up a few links to sub-pages that have been around here for awhile now, but never had any direct links. Much to some people's chagrin Nanashi is no longer offering awards. I'm tired of making tons of them a week, getting behind in everything else, only to see people put them up without linking them or even visiting the rest of the site. There are plenty of other sites that offer awards, there are even award sites out there so I figure why bother. Also got rid of the explicits pages as well.
Okay that's enough bitching from me.
Well Mercedes Lackey's newest book from her Joust Dragon series "Sanctuary" was supposed to come out the same day as "Alta" was released in paperback, it didn't. Publisher's date was pushed back to May 5, which is thankfully only four more days away. I found that out finally because I went to Barnes & Noble and asked about the book when I couldn't find it, they're the ones that told me about the new arrival date. While I was there though I did stumble across a great find though I found Lackey's "Burning Water" on the shelfs. For those not informed or just not the die hard fans alow me to elaborate - this book, the entire Diana Tregarde series infact, are out of print. They were published when Lackey was with another publishing company, but now TOR is re-printing them with new covers and everything. On the back of the book are smaller pictures of what the other two novels, "Children of the Night" and "Jinx High" will look like as well. ^_^ Christmas has come early! Yea, yea I'm a bookworm I know. Ooh, did I mention that I'm eagerly awaiting the latest books from Rowling and Harris as well? Those are due out in June.
And now you know the real reason why I picked up another job for the summer. Yup you guessed it, money to spend on books. Arn't people my age supposed to spend money on booze, clothes and shit like that?
