Back to Black
I chose the Minima Black template when I originally decided to do my own Blog. Then I looked at the title of my Blog and thought "people will think I've hit rock bottom. Make it look happier." I've now reversed that decision. "Trust your feelings Luke", etc. Also, the only other vaguely decent schemes are currently being used by Dataphage, Goat San, BY (who's modified his, the flash bastard), etc.
I like the high contrast stuff. I have waning eyesight as well as thinning hair (dataphage...) and I find the white on black thing easier on my squint.
I am still no closer to working out this HTML bollocks. I have neither the time or patience to keep re-writing bits of it and then preview my work to find that it has done absolutely nothing. I will either ask a small child to do it for me and then hide in shame (or eat the child to hide the evidence), or set dataphage up as an administrator and then sit back and watch him bastardise my Blog and fill it with pornography links.
Suggestion to Goat San - without being excessively crude, I'd be interested to hear about experiences of Japanese filth. I've heard about the vending machines dispensing used female underwear, and disposable hand-shandy devices for men to use on the tube, but I'm not sure how much of what I hear is kah-kah. I find it interesting that such a polite, charming ordered society could be quite so horn-ridden (see Goat San's Blog about the festival involving massive cocks...)
Japanese carpenters are famed for their skill. They spend sometimes a third of their day sharpening and polishing their tools (fnar) as a form of meditation and focus. This has allowed them to create wooden palaces using no nails - the joins they make in the wood are sufficient to hold the building together in an earthquake.
I have tried to bear these facts in mind whilst trying to respray my airsoft rifle from a dodgy urban grey to a nice shiny black. However, the number of times this week I have found myself staring at a thumb print in the drying paint, or a bit of clag that has stuck to the underside when I've put the thing down... "AAARRRGGGHH! BASTARD!" and all the other ususal DIY curses. How do the orientals do it? Surely somewhere in Japan there's at least one bloke who, whenever he tries to do anything around the house, destroys it through lack of patience and then disturbs the neighbours with his wailing?

I now have a picture of you halfway up a ladder, drill in hand, shrieking as your phone goes off. Made me laugh.
If you want some customisations done to your blog template you can copy the text from your template into a text file and email it to me if you like. Just let me know what it is you'd like to add in. I promise I won't put anything too dodgy in: dataphageatgmaildotcom (stupid spelling to counter spammers)
