Hey, lookit that, something got updates! I wanted to use some of the concept art I had for TNP as the placeholder image, and it’s been bugging me how the link to Starfyre’s blog was buried down at the bottom like that. (Incidentally, visit it, he’s an awesome writer. Not that he ever blogs, but his short stories kick ass.) So I dropped the links to the dead comics (they’re linked on the comics page of Volatile Contents and the blogroll here anyhow) and gave the remaining four equal billing. (And I dug up that old pic I did of Maya and Mireille, thusly making the picture link for Starfyre’s site 100% more badass.)
I also have a little JavaScript on there to display a description when you mouseover the link. I couldn’t find fuck all on Google, since most rollovers switch images instead of hiding / unhiding elements, so I’m ashamed to admit I “borrowed” the code from the Goats website. Said code is one line, and it would’ve been pretty trivial for me to figure it out if I was used to JavaScript, and I then worked it over to meet my specific needs, but still, not 100% mine. (Of course, it had to be, since I’ve never used JavaScript at all before.)
Anyhow, click the image for a full-sized screencap, or just view the page yourself. And if someone with Safari could take a look at it for me, I’d be much obliged. I can only test it on Firefox, Opera, and IE6 on this box. (IE7 should work fine as well, but I’ll have to fire up my laptop to check.) IE6 doesn’t play nice with the min-height attribute, so the box keeps resizing (it’s normally 200 pixels tall, and will grow taller if it needs to) but that’s not critical, and it still works okay otherwise.
I’m sure nobody cares, but the reason I have an IP punched into firefox in the screencap is because I have Apache running on my machine to test PHP. I set the bookmark to my computer’s IP on the network so the bookmarks still work when Foxmarks copies ‘em over to my laptop. Also, if you’re wondering about the Google search, (thank god I wasn’t looking for anything embarrassing), I was looking for Shadow Dragon Executive Force, which I lost the link to somehow. I was looking at that picture for TNP and wondering what they do different for their camo patterns on clothing. And also, y’know, I lost the link and wanted to check it.
