Layout time again

Hey look, a different layout again! The last one I had was made by non-blogger people and the code was confusing. I want to finally build a layout of my own and I have to start from understandable code to do that, so here we are. I actually kind of like this layout, so I guess it's a good placeholder for now.

Apparently this layout comes with some neat CSS stuff built in...

Huh... that's cool.
And another fun thing?
Oh it makes "code" into a fixed width font.
That's useful I guess.
Oh wait... that's not the CSS doing that.

While I'm posting I may as well talk about what's actually happening. First of all, nothing really spectacular. I've been reading CSS: The Missing Manual and it's helped a LOT. I highly recommend it if anyone wants to learn to build websites. I think I'm almost finished with it (about 350 pages in and it's around 450-500 with references and an index at the end) but it would be a great reference book. Maybe I'll see about buying it at some point after I return it to the library in... three weeks? Sounds about right.
I've been sort of busy in lab and things are kind of progressing. How's that for a non-committal sentence? About half of my lab (including the professor) is out of town for the week, so I don't really have anyone to ask questions to. This wouldn't be an issue except for the fact that things invariably go wrong every once in a while. Also, I work pretty closely with one of the guys who's out of town so if I want to restart anything I have to dig through his stuff and even the best organized people have so much stuff that it's a pain to go through. I FINALLY found something I was looking for this morning (after looking in different places all day yesterday) but that just means I'll have work to do over the weekend. Oh well, now I have a possibility of finishing this part of the project by Monday instead of mid next week. My main project's going well though, so that's good.
This week's been a little interesting on the games front though. I kind of realized that I won't always have my brother's PS3 so I've been playing stuff on it for most of the week. I downloaded Fat Princess on Monday and played that for a bit. It's pretty fun but I think it'd be great playing with people I know. Now I just need to find those people. I've also played some Eternal Sonata which I got for my birthday. At first it didn't really suck me in, but now that I've played it for a bit I want to keep going. I guess we'll see how far I get before my brother takes his system back. I should probably get a PS3 of my own at some point now that I have three games for it...
