oh, moriarty… what have you done?

OMG! A Ukrainian cover of Anarchy in the UK (Warning - SoundCloud auto played for me. I *hate* sites that do that.)

I’m working on my ukrainian blog and dude, it fucking SUCKS.

Expression Engine 2.x is much different from 1.x and this very template is from 1.x, so.

Hello, learning curve.

To combat that, I’m using an ugly free template and a tutorial. The template is fucking ugly, but once I get a handle on how EE 2.x works, I’ll change out the ick and make it my own. Assuming I can remember how to do that… It’s not like I do fancy shit, but I haven’t worked on an HTML/PHP/CSS/RSS document in a very long time, and I do enjoy tweaking and personalising and generally recreating the wheel.

Because I’m a fucking moron.

The tutorial is awesome but looooooong. I’m on page 62 out of a 370 page book - that’s how in-depth this tutorial is. It’s actually quite perfect, because my ukrainian blog is going to be a bit different from this and any of my other blogs, for that matter. Might as well build it once and build it right.

Also, I’m unbelievably pissed off that the default template EE supplies has hidden bits and I can’t get them to show, no matter how much I fuck with the config file. I HATE default settings that keep you from getting what you need… While I love the Agile Records site design, I do not love the fact that I can’t get into chunks of the site and change them. (This is why I’m using the ugly template.)

I still haven’t written that letter… I barely got their birthday card out in time. I just don’t have anything to say. My life right now is work and Ukrainian homework and finding some weird ass shit in the iTunes store. I’m not sure the recipient would be cool with a letter that’s half written in Ukrainian and contains nothing but “OMG! I LOVE Ukrainian Ska!”

True story - I went looking for the Mad Heads XL in both the US and UK iTunes stores and they have other albums by the band, but not the ska one I just bought. How fucking weird is that? It’s like I hallucinated it or something.

Apparently, a very shit faced Draco believes that ducks say moo. That stupid line has been cracking me up every time I think about it… but mostly because I modelled drunk Draco on someone specific and that is a direct quote.

I love my friends… even when drunk, they’re all kinds of awesome.
