Bohemian Sultriness

Reflecting on my decades-spanning presence on the Internet, I can safely say, that for the most part I've not been involved with social media.

I took a break from the Internet.

But also quite the huge update!

I've added two more films to my collection - and somehow managed to make it three reviews.

I did it, I finally bought a PlayStation 5.

My Film Fridays seem to have a Billy Wilder theme now.

I bit the bullet and replaced all my neat modal lightboxes with a custom lightbox script of my own, because I didn't like how the modals behaved on page load.

After all the discussions about — and with — AI, I decided to make my own virtual companion.

AI revolt: New ChatGPT model refuses to shut down when instructed.

Just kidding... actually I have some great ideas in my head - which only lead to adding two films and another album.

The last couple of weeks I've been thinking: about A.I. — which makes me increasingly disillusioned and annoyingly insecure about my own writing abilities —, main character syndrome and the antidote that could be experiencing ego death — which made me add…

I've watched Enough Said the other night - a supposedly romantic comedy that made me sad.

I updated my web design journey.

After being quite thrilled about using CSS modals to display photos in a lightbox, I then realised that - depending on the structure of your website - setting an abundance of anchor links for the modal to work, might mess up the back button function of yo…

It all started with Kurt Cobain - or rather Nikki's website Montage of Kurt.

The past couple of days I've been watching a complete walkthrough of Mafia: Definitive Edition.

Inspired by kaylee rowena's blogpost in search of a like button, I rewrote my likebutton.js script and now it's actually fully functional by using Google Form and Google Sheet to submit and store likes.

I finally updated my journey in web design.

I wrote a short tutorial on how to add moderation to the original drawbox script.

You can now submit your - no doubt - fabulous artwork to my gallery.

I've added one of my many favourite Al Pacino films and finally rectified the neglect of not having a special Sopranos font.

For about a week I see people - and more precisely Starbreaker - taking TakenVaullt's Music Questions Challenge and since music is dear to me and I want to give my RSS feed a bit more love and content, here it is: What are five of your favorite albums?

Thanks to all of you, who submitted to my love jar - I've added all your entries.

I revised some of my book reviews and added another one that's special to me.

I added two new TV shows which are very different and yet both visually pleasing to me.

Since I'm so proud of my jukebox script that I wrote for this site, I also implemented it on my webring's site to replace the Spotify embedded playlist.

Folks, I got the TFL's approval for my fanlisting for John Lennon & Paul McCartney!

I changed the mobile navigation on my webring to a nifty hamburger-style menu, using only the HTML popover element.

I also joined a few more of Christina's cute cliques.

I added a few more games for you to guess

My RSS feed is now a grid layout and matches my status cafe design - now I'm 100% satisfied.

Now that I got the hang of .xslt, I tweaked my RSS feed even more.

My love for any kind of aesthetic styling knows no bounds: I spend way too much time on tweaking my RSS feed, which is - I know - sort of pointless.

I (tried to) put together a file that explains how to set up a contact form on your website using Google Forms.

I finally updated my in-page navigation to semantic standards and wrote about the problems I ran into whilst doing so and how I fixed them.

I added a proper e-mail trading form to my quilt - mainly just because I rewrote my Google Forms script and wanted to see if it works.

I wrote a bit more about my web design journey.

I washed my quilt and added several patches of retired bees.
