Time flies

Wow I can't believe how fast time flies. It's already been a month ever since my last article. A busy and kind of stressful month with 6 exams and other such activities. Not to mention the ever daily beers :)) . I haven't messed with my pc lately, mainly because I really needed it and was in no mood to start fixing stuff. The only thing I have been working on if the new romanian site RGStuff.ro . Basically it's this blog plus much more. You can see the logo on the right in the sidebar. Just putting on the final touches , and we should be up and running in the next few days.

Unfortunately the new site is completely in romanian. I mean unfortunately for the english speaking visitors that come here, but RGStuff.ro is designed for a different target audience. Don't worry though, this blog will continue to exist and to be updated regularly. So be sure to check back soon.
If on the other hand you actually speak romanian give RGStuff.ro a try, we promise you are going to like it.
Until next time, cheers guys.

Blog Template

You may be wondering why the blog looks somewhat different. Well I was in the mood to play around with the coding, and I actually had a few different ideas that would have looked nice. The first one was to get the background back, a little blue stripe on the edges of the screen ( like we have now). For that I had to change the background color and the sizes of the different wrappers. I've tried to optimize the site for 1024 screen resolution, so the original wrapper was 1024 pixels. I changed that to about 900 and the site looked weird. I tried changing the main and sidebar wrapper to make them smaller ..but it still looked weird so I reverted back to the original  sizes.

Google has the following thing written next to the editor view : You may want to save your template before editing it. Guess why? So tings don't go horribly wrong as they did for me. When I went back to the original wrapper sizes something got screwy because the site ( regardless of any changes that I tried) was about 20 pixels more than it should be, thus going off screen, thus creating horizontal scroll bar that looked and felt like s%$t. I tinkered around some more ( I swear I did know what I was doing!) but somehow the sidebar got screwed all together.

Now this is the thing that I truly and honestly completely hate about technology. When things don't work without any reason. It's like you give the command : print 1 and your PC without any possible explanation prints 2. I always get extremely pissed when stuff like this happens, and it's probably my weak point when dealing with tech stuff. 

It was at that point that I almost threw my monitor out the window, but I managed to calm myself. And I began anew, with a new template modifying it from the basic aspect, and I finally got to what you can see now. There were more changes that were supposed to happen, but technology hates me and for some reason I couldn't change the header sizes and a few more other things. 

 Anyway it doesn't look too bad ( I got rid of the header that annoyed you so much) and I hope you like it.

Happy Birthday

So yesterday RGS had it's first birthday. It's been one year since that dark and spooky afternoon when I decided that no more would I let all the work and nerves put into making a damn pc work , go to waste. It's been an exciting year, with a few very new and interesting tehnological developements, with increasing pageviews but much fewer problems than I would have anticipated.
First I would like to thank everybody for the feedback and suggestions, and everyone who has in one way or another helped me ( including the anonymous H4x0r 1337 people on different forums :P ). I promise I'll try and do an even better job this second year.
So thanks once again and Happy Birthday to that cute blue photoshoped excuse for a mascot that you can see on the right corner of the banner. :)) Cheers, Geeky
