you caught me lingering

I've changed the header image in the layout, somewhat. It's a tweak of the same image I was doing while I was procrastinating the assessment items I finished tonight.

I kinda like it. I need to tweak the positioning some more, but I'll fix that over the weekend. Now? sleep.

New layout. It still needs tweaking, but I'm generally happy with the format at the moment; perhaps just some colours-tweaking. The header-image is a photo from outside campus on wednesday night.

And now, to get ready for console party.

For the Futurama fans on my flist: Someone has done a Flickr photostream of all the screencaps of the Futurama titlescreen taglines from Seasons 1-4. Found here

In comic news; Slave Labor Graphics (of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Lenore fame) will be producing four new Disney-based comic series: Haunted Mansion, Wonderland, Tron, and Gargoyles. Details here

Fred Clark over at slacktivist has a well-put comment (despite somewhat of a misinterpretative reference to Godwin's Law) on the tendency for everyone to whinge and moan about Hitler comparisons. To quote Israeli historian Avi Schlaim; "The issue isn't whether or not we are the same as the Nazis, the issue is that we aren't different enough." Fred's full thoughts here.

I know there are people on the flist who'll love this stuff: A gallery of vintage European circus posters, complete with all the vintage things one associates with the circus. Very cool, and here (NB, not in English, but it's fairly easy to make your way around intuitively).

From Dark Horse Comics comes a free webcomic adaptation of HG Wells' The War of The Worlds. (NB: afaik, this product does not contain Tom Cruise. Thankfully.) [ETA: Oops. Forgot the link for this one. here.]

After putting off changing my LJ layout for a good few months because it all seemed really complex and scary, I finally spent an evening of messing about with advanced S2 customizations and such (with the help of some really useful tutorials and such).

I came up with a new LJ layout I'm really rather pleased with. The header doesn't completely line up with the main text, but I'm not really too fussed, because fixing that would involve way too much messing about with code because it's a problem with the centering in the original style.

Original photos/filtering is $tephen's, from his 24-hour comic because he's lovely and let's me mess with his creations for my own purposes.

I am quite pleased. As a result, you all get flirty!jen.
