displacement

[liv]

Well, I've just spent the entire evening fussing with my webpage. It's still far from perfect, but it's somewhat less boring, at least. And I'm also frustrated because I absolutely can't get my livejournal to match it any more; in particular I can't make it display a background image despite either following the faq intstructions carefully or stealing other people's code. Grr.

Anyway, while I'm on the displacement thing, there's a meme doing the rounds where people get their friends to interview them. I like this idea; it's rather related to the concept I was trying to formulate a while ago of a "nomic-style" version of the standard email quizzes. So anyway, if anyone wants to interview me, go ahead. I'll answer any question that applies to me alone; I promise to dodge only if the answer concerns another person who might not want me to tell the whole truth for any reason. Up to and including random strangers.

If you want me to interview you, I can have a go. But making up questions is a lot harder than answering them. And if I don't know you very well you might get generic, rather than specific questions, which sort of defeats the object a bit, but anyway.

Edit 9.6.03: I've realized that the name of the group I was listening too is *The* Burning Bush, not just Burning Bush. So I've changed it because I'm pedantic like that, but also because as it was before it sounded too much like an off-colour political statement.

I'd like to be interviewed by you, if you felt like.

OK, I just got a chance to look at your webpage, and it's really really pretty. And I don't mind being less anonymous, so you can change it however you see fit. First name and a link to something or other, maybe?

OK, now you've inspired me to want to do something much nicer with my webpage, except I'm feeling lacking in creativity. And I'm sitting here making the excuse to myself that I couldn't really do any nice graphics because I haven't got a graphics editor here. (Well, at least there's Paint. Which is something, I suppose.)

As for making your journal match, I'm pretty sure I've seen journals that have styles vaguely similar to that, so if they weren't paid accounts and I see one, I'll let you know.

Yay, sorted

Well, after all that complaining, I think I've done it. Webpage just about satisfactory (but suggestions still welcome); background image attached to lj, and colourscheme more or less sorted out. css is my friend at the moment.
