So a couple of weeks ago was my friend’s birthday. Of course like any cheap frugal artistic person, I decided I was going to make him something. After all anything I buy at the store, he can get himself right? And like they always say, it’s the thought that counts. So a couple weeks before his birthday I found this great tutorial for leaf script. I thought, hey why not try it out?

So a couple of days ago, I decided my computer was starting to lag too much and I should reinstall it. The original plan was to create a new partition (using my trusty sysresccd which has qtparted. A free hard drive partitioner that can resize ntfs.) on my hard drive to place all my files into and reformat the other partition. Then after reinstalling the OS I would place the file back, then join all the partition back. Sounds great right? On paper it did, but when I went ahead and executed it, a big giant head exploding problem happened. My computer crashed while partitioning. Naturally my first hope was to check if my files was still there, no dice. At that point a part of me died. (more…)

Yes Jonathan is back from the dead. How does the new skin feel? Well its now 100% done.

What’s with the new theme? Well one of the biggest thing I hate about most wordpress theme is that most of the time you need to write a relatively long post. I hope to solve that with this theme. Inspired by microblog such as Tumblr. I hope you like it.

As with my latest trend, I love making color changes to section background. I hope my latest experiment add some spice to the theme. But Can it be to opaque or transparent? Critisize and report bugs in the comments please =D. Pretty please? With a “left over turkey” on top?

Happy Black Friday! (How was your shopping?)

This is the one where Jon talks about his new blog design.

It has been about 4 months since 53M1 first launched. I think it is finally time for a new design. After drawing many random sketches of the new theme, I decided to go with this one. So without further ado, I present you with the changes beneath the comestics.

For those who are lazy there is a bullet point summarizing all this below all this.

First of all, yes it is still running under Wordpress 2.1. It is also based on another design based on Scott Wallick’s “brilliantness”. In this case Simplr.

One of the obvious new features is the “summary of the post” if that’s what you want to call it. If you don’t know, it’s that grey box above this post, and beneath the post title. It is as the name suggest, the “summary of the post…”. It was inspired by non other then Bryan Veloso of Avalonstar.

I have removed the then dying “elsewhere” with just my Del.icio.us account since I update del.icio.us more anyway. Scroll down for the links. I have also removed the dying twitter for now.

I have also included my Flickr feed beside my del.icio.us links.

The new comment theme is similar to Stammy’s. No I did not steal his code. It is a template from a tutorial that I found a couple days ago.

I have also removed the Digg button, since it was sadly useless.

Now for the lazy arses that was not lazy to scroll down to my wrap up, a simple bullet point!

Added

• Flickr feed
• Del.icious links
• Summary of post
• Contrasted section
• Top button between each section

Removed

• Elsewhere
• Twitter
• Digg button

Hope you like the new theme! Tell me what you think =D
