So, LJ seems to have (again without warning) changed the layout of the personal info pages. This does not actually bother me because of two things. One, the fields are now collapsible. Two, the previously nonexistent in-journal search (which allows you to find a journal based on a remembered phrase), exists. We'll see how well this works.
The green is not working so much for me anymore, but I'm nothing like a programmer. So this is a call to those of you who know how to make LJs pretty:
I want an LJ heavily inspired by an ancient Egyptian temple, or scene. I'd like a simple papyrus-type background, and a traditional lotus-bud type column to stick my sidebar in. Colors would be sandstone, papyrus white (new papyrus is white or cream, and the individual fiber strips aren't visible as they are in ancient scrolls), lapis lazuli blue, carnelian orange, malachite green, and gold. I will rename the journal as appropriate.
Maybe there is someone out there who knows how to do this? I would be profoundly grateful if someone were to share. Failing that, how to you make a tags list display one tag per line? It can be done, I have seen it done, I just have no idea how to do it.
Finally, we did something interesting in modern physics today. Apparently we have an SEM, so today we used it to examine hair. On a very large blown-up scale, human hair looks kind of like this. Unless you dye it. Then funky things happen to the protein plates and such, and also, the X-ray spectrometer will identify things like chlorine and barium in your hair.
And then we looked at McDonalds salt. The sodium and chlorine were expected. The oxygen is probably a result of water on the salt, and the silicon was probably added in small amounts as a desiccant. The thing that worried me was the lead. Plz to not be putting heavy metals in my food? Kthxbai.
