Oh the cycles of life

Well, after quite a long day of looking at XML and compiling, I decided to take some time to organise my final thoughts on a possible netbook. I went to some of my distributor’s websites, and peruse Amazon, and I saw something that I didn’t expect. Down at the bottom of the page, Amazon offers customised listings of items that pertain to things one has purchased in the past. Having bought gifts for my nephews and such, the list this time was “The best toys for boys.” I made a screenshot of it so that you could all see why I found this list amusing:

Amazon toys for boys

I take at least 1.7% ± 1.2234349% credit for this resurgence of the popular puzzle toy. 😉

Funny as heck, but probably only to nerds…

I was just trolling around on the Gentoo fora, and found a thread with this amazing link on it:

STRONG LANGUAGE and CONTENT — NOT for anyone under 18:
http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Gentoo

If you’re not a huge nerd like me, that content might not be funny at all. However, if you’re into computers and programming, you will most likely be running upstairs to take some ibuprofen for your now-aching cheeks and sides.

New stuff

Hello all,

I have finally implemented the new theme here on the Z-Issue. I really enjoy this new look, and think that it is a little more modern than the last one. Also, I have put in a “Random Quote” box in the upper-right corner. Some of these quotes are funny, some are serious. I thought that delicate balance fit nicely with the whole “true affinity of intelligence and absurdity” tagline. 😉 Let me know if you have some good quote recommendations for the box, or something else to be added to the blog modules.

In the upcoming weeks, I will be changing other aspects of the site. Some ideas with which I’m currently playing are: 1) a new category structure, 2) new icons for each of the categories, and 3) reorganisation of the links bar (with updated content). Again, let me know if you have any suggestions.
