Theme madness
I'm beginning to think that the Cynosure theme I've been using since mid-September may have had a "push" upgrade that I didn't get because I've tweaked it (and automatic upgrades don't happen to sites that have had their HTML tweaked), so that may possibly be the reason that the front page of my Tumblr stopped loading correctly for people using IE and Chrome (and some sizes of Firefox).
So for the time being I'm going to fall back to the Pliancy theme I was using for a while -- at least until I hear back from the Ultralinx people as to (a) whether there's been an upgrade and (b) whether I can please DL a new clean copy of whatever the theme looks like now (as my old clean copy produces the same errors).
If things look a bit weird around here while I get the old theme settled back in, you'll know why.
"Let everything that's been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. And most important, let them believe in themselves. Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win."
Stalker (1979)
I like your new background image!
Thank you! It’s the landscape-oriented version of the Terragen-generated background from the cover of the A Wizard of Mars NME. This is the scene where Nita and Aurilelde are having a wizards’ duel over the Oceanidum Mons region of Mars, and as part of this the weather has just been changed to dump a ton of water on the circular area below (you can see how the clouds define it).
I may change this image out in a bit, as I’m still playing with the colors on the theme and may like a different, bluer-&-more-watery version of the theme better. (that being this one, which I use as wallpaper on my big desktop machine:)
We’ll see.
(Edited to add links to full-size images. These are wallpaper-size images at 1920x1200px.)
