The current incarnation of HisVirusness.com celebrated its first anniversary yesterday. It’s by far the most substantial and persistent project I’ve either done or been involved with in years, and it began with two posts, a general stylesheet and some PHP I wrote when I was in my early 20’s. I planted the seeds and let it become what it wanted to be, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Here’s to many more years of abject ridiculousness.

Now I have a proper button! There is a section for downloading it or copying its code. The section design is more similar to OS X Aqua than to the glass aesthetic used on the other parts of the website, but I’m pleased with the result.
Thank you! I’m a bit obsessive when it comes to organization and consistency. Just when I think I’m done with something, I’m tweaking it again…
Speaking of, I put in a little more work on my links page today by adding in favicons for each link. This was a labour of love I’d been meaning to do for a while, as I had to manually go digging for everyone’s favicon. I don’t believe in hotlinking anything, so I had to find, download, and convert each favicon to a 32 x 32 webp image (with a few exceptions here and there). I think the favicons help to visually break up the wall of text effect, hopefully making it easier on the eyes.

OK, one last little bit of tweaking for a while! I’m back to regular work hours this week, so I’ve less free time on my hands to futz about with my website. 
One thing I didn’t like about using the <details> element to display and hide the commentary on my links and logs pages is that I couldn’t really bring my commentary into focus as much as I wanted to. I ended up finding a cool no JavaScript CSS-only checkbox modal tutorial and used that (with some small modifications of my own) to display my links commentary in a much nicer way (IMO). I also took the opportunity to update my logs page with cover images, and provided a text only version for people who prefer to read everything without clicking around as much.
I’ve tested the new modal feature out in a few different contexts and it seems to be working fine, but I’d appreciate a heads up if you check it out and something isn’t working on your end. If you’ve visited my site previously, you’ll likely have to clear your cache to load the updated CSS file.

That CSS-powered modal is slick.
I’ve been keeping track and ranking the books and movies I’ve read/seen this year, and I started making a page for them
Yeah, it’s pretty neat! I love using CSS to do stuff typically done by JavaScript.
