Digital Spring Cleaning [en]

[fr] Nouveau design pour Digital Crumble, et quelques nettoyages de printemps pour Climb to the Stars (notez l'allègement du menu de navigation et des barres latérales, et l'apparition d'un gros pied de page truffé de liens et d'infos.

I’ve played about a bit with Climb to the Stars and Digital Crumble. It’s nice to dip one’s hands in a little HTML, CSS and PHP every now and again.

So, what have we got?

Digital Crumble has a brand new design. Whiter than the last one, but with enough pink to make me happy. (I customized it just a little.)

As for Climb to the Stars, the sad state of my sidebars had been bringing me down for months, so I finally decided to do something about it. I found a tutorial for adding a fat footer to Thesis and tried it out. I have to say that one thing I like about the Thesis theme I’m using here is the number of tutorials lying around to make just about any customization you can think of.

So, a lot of stuff that used to clutter up the sidebars is now in the fat footer at the bottom of each page.

While I was at it, I decided to have only one sidebar instead of two, and cleaned up the navigation bar at the top (most of the extra stuff is now in the footer). I also found a tutorial for moving the search form into the site header (and out of the sidebar!)

I had to fiddle around with both tutorials (mainly the CSS) until I got something I liked. I hope you’ll like it too!

    Je suis au chalet. Juste pour deux nuits. Ma chambre à coucher est en train d’être repeinte, donc je ne peux pas y dormir. Donc je profite. Les deux nuits d’avant, entre le vidage de la chambre et l’arrivée des peintres, j’ai dormi sur le canapé à l’eclau. Le pauvre Juju était tout perturbé! Je … Continue reading "Balcon méditatif au chalet"

    Oscar died a bit over a month ago. Five weeks exactly, actually. Of course it hasn’t been simple. I’ve been wanting to write for weeks, but not getting around to it. It’s a pattern, isn’t it. It has been for years, decades probably. Wanting to write, needing to write, and not getting around to it. … Continue reading "Concussion With a Side of Grief, or Vice-Versa"
  • Faire porter sa chatte01.06.2026
    Je sais qu’il y a des tas de gens qui font le choix de ne pas stériliser leur chatte “pour avoir des petits”, et qui peut-être ne comprennent pas l’énervement des gens branchés “protection animale” face à ça. Si on est responsable, qu’on soigne bien les chatons, qu’on leur trouve de bons foyers, où est … Continue reading "Faire porter sa chatte"

    Je voulais écrire hier. Hier, deux semaines après la mort d’Oscar. Le choc a passé. Je suis de retour au travail – avec difficulté la semaine dernière, on verra ce que raconte celle-ci. Il reste le manque. Il me manque. Je commence tout juste à entrer parfois dans mon appartement sans ressentir très fort la présence … Continue reading "C’est pas le pied"
  • Ghosts in the Heart08.05.2026
    In the days of early grief, the pull towards the being you lost is still there. It pulls at your heart but has nowhere to go. It is a ghost. A ghost of habits and rituals, a ghost of familiarity, who feeds on unmoored love – another name for grief.  Like a phantom limb in … Continue reading "Ghosts in the Heart"
